We love our hot and spicy foods....buffalo wings included. In fact, buffalo wings were one of the food items that we were concerned about missing when we talked about going to a more meatless diet. However, a conversation that I had with a coworker kept coming to my mind. She had talked to me about the most delicious cauliflower recipe. I was skeptical, but willing to give it a try. Why not. I began to search the internet and somehow I stumbled upon this recipe.
Cauliflower Buffalo Bites
Ingredients
- 1 large head Cauliflower
- 2 tsp Garlic powder
- 1/2 cup Hot sauce
- 1/2 tbsp Lemon juice
- 1 tbs butter, melted
- 1/2 cup Flour
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 1/2 cup Water
2 In a large bowl whisk flour, water, garlic powder and paprika in a bowl until batter is smooth. Add the cauliflower and toss to coat.
3. Spread the cauliflower on a baking sheet in a single layer and bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping the cauliflower halfway through.
4. In a small bowl, whisk together the hot sauce, melted butter and lemon juice until well combined.
5. After the 25 minutes bake time, brush the cauliflower with the hot sauce mixture and return the cauliflower to the oven for an additional 15 minutes
6. Serve with blue cheese or ranch dressing and celery sticks.
I am telling you, you will be scratching your head and wondering where the meat is in this recipe. They taste that much like buffalo wings! This recipe is a winner. It is so good, that within two or three days of making this for the first time, Jason was asking for it again!
