Who doesn't like buffalo wings? They are the bees knees in my book but they can obviously be pretty unhealthy considering they are deep fried. A healthy and really scrumptious alternative is cauliflower buffalo bites. And don't worry they taste just as great as buffalo wings, the only down side in my book is they aren't crispy like wings would be. They are extremely easy to make and they are like potato chips, once you pop one in your mouth you won't be able to stop.
What you'll need:
1 head of cauliflower
3/4 cup of flour
1 cup of milk
1 heaping tablespoon of garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon of butter
1/2 cup of franks red hot sauce (I choose the buffalo flavor)
Preheat the over to 450 degrees.
Rinse off the cauliflower, chop off the stem and the leaves. Cut the cauliflower into little bite sized pieces.
In a bowl all the flour, garlic powder and milk, whisk together until smooth.
Season with a bit of salt and pepper
Grab a hand full of florets and dump them in the batter.
Now use your hands and make sure to coat all sides of the florets. Make sure to let any extra batter drip off.
Take a baking sheet and line with aluminum foil and grease with olive oil spray.
Take the florets and spread them onto the pan.
Spray another layer of olive oil on top of the florets
Place in the oven and bake for 18 minutes.
Remove them and let them sit for a few minutes to cool down a bit.
In a small pot melt the butter into the franks red hot sauce.
Now that the cauliflower is cooled a bit remove them from the pan and put them in a bowl
Pour the hot sauce mixture over the florets
Use a spoon and gently coat all of the florets.
Spray a little more olive oil on to the aluminum and place the florets back into the baking sheet and bake for another 7 minutes.
Remove from the pan and serve with ranch of blue cheese dressing.
