Cauliflower Bites

Method

Preparation of Cauliflower Bites

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) to ensure that the cauliflower bites become crispy.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Cauliflower

    Remove the leaves from the cauliflower and cut it into bite-sized florets. Rinse under cold water and pat dry with a towel.

  3. 3

    Season the Cauliflower

    In a large bowl, combine the cauliflower florets with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Toss until the florets are evenly coated.

  4. 4

    Bake the Cauliflower

    Spread the seasoned cauliflower florets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper in a single layer. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.

Preparation of Buffalo Sauce

  1. 5

    Melt the Butter

    In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.

  2. 6

    Combine Sauce Ingredients

    Once the butter is melted, add the hot sauce, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, and honey or agave syrup. Whisk together until well combined and heated through.

  3. 7

    Toss Cauliflower in Sauce

    Once the cauliflower bites are done baking, transfer them to a large bowl and pour the buffalo sauce over them. Toss gently to coat all the bites evenly.

Serving

  1. 8

    Serve and Enjoy

    Transfer the buffalo cauliflower to a serving platter. Serve hot, with additional hot sauce or ranch dressing on the side if desired.
