We have always loved appetizers of every kind (and all things buffalo like our Buffalo Chicken Dip and Buffalo French Bread) and we are especially excited for a healthier recipe to add to the list.
just as good as chicken!
Who here loves cauliflower? I’ve become obsessed recently and ordered some Buffalo Cauliflower at California Pizza Kitchen. It was so good I knew I wanted to try and re-create it at home. Since trying the recipe, I’ve now made it at least 10 more times because it’s that good. I decided to use our basic Fried Zucchini recipe with these cauliflower pieces and used Panko instead. We also baked the cauliflower to make it healthier, and it turned out AWESOME! Of course we love our classic boneless buffalo wings, but these bites are so good, you’ll love them just as much as the chicken!
How to Make Cauliflower Buffalo Bites
Can you make buffalo cauliflower without the flour and Panko? We think using them makes them more crispy, but you can always just roast the cauliflower and then drizzle some buffalo sauce on it, baking it for a bit longer. How to make buffalo cauliflower in air fryer? This recipe can also be made in the air fryer. To make it, just follow directions as directed, but before frying, spread the cauliflower in the air fryer in an even layer making sure the florets aren’t touching and cook at 400 degrees for 8-10 minutes. Then toss them in the buffalo sauce. Can you reheat buffalo cauliflower? Reheating fried food isn’t always easy because it’s definitely best fresh, but you can reheat by placing the cauliflower on a greased baking sheet and baking at 375 for 12-14 minutes. Broil for the last minute to make crispy. Can I change up the sauce? This cauliflower does not have to be tossed in a buffalo sauce. We love it with this sauce, but we also cannot wait to try using the sauce in our Teriyaki Wings or even in our Honey BBQ wings.
WHAT TO SERVE WITH?
Definitely serve these tasty baked buffalo cauliflower bites with your favorite dipping sauces – we prefer homemade ranch. You could try them with this Nacho Cheese sauce that is sooo yummy. Or even this Chipotle Ranch sauce that is super delicious. Possibilities are endless with this fun appetizer idea. Again – you can fry these if you want, but baking them is the best option. It’s healthier and they still get that crisp-ness when you broil for the last bit of the baking. We hope you can agree that this Baked Buffalo Cauliflower tastes just like chicken and is super tasty. 😉
