Instructions
Preheat Oven
- Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Prepare Cauliflower
- Wash cauliflower and cut into bite-sized florets. Make sure pieces are similar in size for even cooking.
Make the Batter
- In a large bowl, whisk flour, water, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until smooth and lump-free.
Coat Cauliflower
- Dip each floret into the batter, making sure it is fully coated. Shake off extra batter gently.
Bake the Cauliflower
- Place coated florets on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 20 minutes.
Prepare Buffalo Sauce
- While baking, warm buffalo sauce in a small bowl. Add olive oil if you like extra crispiness.
Toss Cauliflower in Sauce
- After baking, remove cauliflower and toss in buffalo sauce until evenly coated.
Bake Again
- Return coated cauliflower to the baking sheet. Bake for another 5–10 minutes for crisp edges.
Garnish and Serve
- Sprinkle chopped parsley over bites. Serve with ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping.
Enjoy Your Snack
- Serve warm. Buffalo Cauliflower Bites are perfect for parties, snacks, or game day.
Notes
- Use gluten-free flour for a gluten-free version.
- Add cayenne pepper for extra heat in the batter.
- Try air-frying instead of baking for crispier bites.
- Use homemade buffalo sauce for better flavor and less sodium.
- Garnish with green onions or cilantro instead of parsley.
