Buffalo Cauliflower Bites

Super Bowl Sunday!

It's finally here.

Don't get me wrong, I probably could not care less and I don't have TV so I won't be watching it today (I will however watch all of the funny commercials online!).

I'm excited for all of the recipes and food that people will be sharing!
Today I'm hanging out at home, working on challenge groups, and catching up on homework, so I'm making a few small batch versions of my favorite "tailgating" foods!

Ignore the crappy photo, it was girl's night and I almost forgot to snap a pic :)
First up, this yummy Buffalo Cauliflower. It. is. delicious. Especially as a substitute for chicken wings! It's not only a much CHEAPER option for those of us on a budget, it also saves some room for the buffalo ground turkey meatballs I'll be sharing later ;)

Okay, I love buffalo sauce and spicy things. Don't judge! I also made a few barbecue sauced versions for my roomie, because she can't handle spicy!
Ingredients
  • 1 head cauliflower; chopped into bite size piece
  • ½ cup flour
  • ½ cup water
  • Pinch of kosher salt
  • Pinch of garlic powder
  • Non-stick spray
  • ***Sauce***
  • 1 tsp. butter, melted
  • ½ cup Frank’s Red Hot sauce
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 450F.
  2. In a small bowl, combine bflour, water, garlic powder and salt. Mix thoroughly with a whisk.
  3. Dip cauliflower pieces in the batter until coated evenly, then place on a lightly greased, non-stick baking sheet.
  4. Bake for about 10 minutes or until the batter hardens, then flip with a spatula and bake for another 5 minutes.
  5. Whisk together Frank’s Red Hot sauce and butter in a small bowl.
  6. When the cauliflower is finished, take a plastic pastry brush and evenly brush each piece with the hot sauce mixture (or just throw 'em in the bowl with the sauce and lift out with a fork haha)!
  7. Bake coated cauliflower for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until cauliflower is crispy, and sauce looks absorbed.
  8. Remove from oven.
  9. Let cauliflower bites cool for a few minutes before serving.
  10. Enjoy!
