Buffalo cauliflower bites are a tasty and zesty alternative to traditional buffalo wings.

These bites are perfect for snacking or serving at parties.

Let’s gather what you need and go through the preparation steps.

Essential Ingredients

To make buffalo cauliflower bites, you’ll need a few key ingredients.

Here’s what to gather:

  • Cauliflower florets (about 1 large head)
  • Olive oil (for coating)
  • Buffalo sauce (around ½ cup)
  • Garlic powder (1 teaspoon)
  • Paprika (1 teaspoon)
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)
  • All-purpose flour or chickpea flour (for batter)

These ingredients will create a delicious flavor and crispy texture when baked.

Preparation Basics

Start by preheating your oven to 475°F (245°C).

While the oven heats up, wash and cut your cauliflower into bite-sized florets.

In a large bowl, mix the olive oil, buffalo sauce, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.

In a separate bowl, combine the flour with a pinch of salt and pepper.

Toss the cauliflower florets in the flour first, then coat them in the buffalo sauce mixture.

Spread them out on a baking sheet in a single layer.

Bake for about 25-30 minutes or until they’re crispy and golden brown.

Serve warm with your favorite dip, like ranch dressing or celery sticks.

Enjoy your zesty snack!
