Spicy Buffalo Cauliflower Bites

What to do when you have a whole head of cauliflower in your fridge thats just-a-waiting to get eaten?! This is a recipe I came across from a viral Pinterest pin “Baked Buffalo Cauliflower” from Persnickety Plates (click for her recipe). I modified a few of the ingredients according to what was in my kitchen. They turned out incredible. They fill the boneless-buffalo-wing-void that happens every once in a while. I served them with Gimme Some Oven’s “Skinny Greek Yogurt Ranch Dip” (click for her recipe). This meal was a somewhat healthy dinner after a big Easter lunch. The whole cauliflower was plenty for both Greg and me — we couldn’t completely finish it!

I will be making this again and again. It’s a tasty way to use some cauliflower!

Here’s what you gotta do:

Preheat your oven to 450 degrees F.

To make the batter, mix the flour, water, and spices together. 

Throw cauliflower in batter and toss around. Really you should use your hands to make sure each floret is coated. 

Spread out on a parchment paper-lined pan and bake for 15-20 minutes. 

Rinse our your bowl and add the melted butter and buffalo sauce. Remove from oven. Toss the baked cauliflower in the buffalo-butter sauce, and serve warm with ranch dressing or blue cheese dip.

I served mine with a “Skinny Greek Yogurt Ranch Dip” from Gimmesomeoven.com. It was very tasty!
