These Cauliflower Buffalo Bites are a spicy and flavorful snack that’s perfect for game day or any gathering. They provide a healthy twist on traditional buffalo wings, using cauliflower as the base. This whole food plant-based, oil-free recipe is easy to prepare and packed with flavor.
Ingredients
- 1 head Cauliflower cut into bite-sized florets
- ½ cup gluten free flour
- ½ cup Almond Milk unsweetened (any plant based milk)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ cup hot sauce such as Frank's RedHot or your favorite brand
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare the Batter: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, almond milk, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
- Coat the Cauliflower: Dip each cauliflower floret into the batter, ensuring it is well-coated. Shake off any excess batter and place the florets on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the cauliflower is golden brown and crispy.
- Add the Buffalo Sauce: Remove the cauliflower from the oven and drizzle the hot sauce over the baked bites. Toss gently to coat the florets evenly.
- Return to Oven: Place the coated cauliflower back in the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes to allow the sauce to set.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy these spicy cauliflower bites with a side of celery sticks and your favorite plant-based ranch or dipping sauce.
