Preparation

Baking
  1. Spread the coated cauliflower on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  2. Bake for 20 minutes until crispy on the tips.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix together melted butter and buffalo sauce.
  4. After the initial baking, remove cauliflower from the oven and dunk or brush the pieces in the buffalo sauce mixture.

Notes

For maximum crispiness, don’t overcrowd the pan and broil for the last couple of minutes. These cauliflower bites can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheated at 375°F (190°C) for 8 minutes for best results. Feel free to experiment with different sauces or add extra spices as desired.
