Secret confession: sometimes at Super Bowl parties, we’re kind of jealous of the spread meat eaters get. Sliders, beefy nachos, pigs in a blanket – and of course buffalo wings!!! Well – with these buffalo cauliflower bites, even your meatless friends will be able to partake in the spicy flavors! These are oven baked and not fried which makes them healthier, twice baked with our favorite Frank’s Red Hot Sauce, they are addictive and will be a crowd pleaser for sure.  

Tips & Tricks

• When re-heating leftovers, use a toaster oven or an air fryer to preserve the crispness of the cauliflower
• We love Frank’s hot sauce the best for these bites but you can sub out your own favorite hot sauce, you may need to adjust how much you slather on based on your heat level
• Fresh cauliflower is the best to minimize water content 
• These work great in tacos drizzled with some Taco Bell chipotle sauce
