When game day rolls around, I always look for snacks that satisfy those spicy, savory cravings without being too heavy. These buffalo cauliflower bites have become a staple in my house because they are so simple to make and everyone loves the tangy flavor.

You can easily double this batch if you have a big crowd coming over. Just make sure to serve them fresh from the oven so they stay nice and crispy for your guests.

🧺 Ingredients

1 large head of cauliflower cut into bite sized florets
1/2 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup water
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce
2 tablespoons melted butter

👩‍🍳Instructions

1
Preheat your oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, water, garlic powder, and onion powder until smooth.
3
Dip each cauliflower floret into the batter to coat it lightly, then place it on your baking sheet.
4
Bake the cauliflower for 20 minutes, turning halfway through to ensure even browning.
5
While the cauliflower bakes, whisk the buffalo sauce and melted butter together in a small bowl.
6
Remove the cauliflower from the oven, brush it generously with the buffalo sauce mixture, and bake for another 10 minutes until tender and crispy.
7
Serve immediately with a side of celery sticks or ranch dressing.

💡 Tips

These are best served warm right out of the oven. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days and reheat them in the oven to bring back the crunch.
