Oven Baked Buffalo Cauliflower Bites are a fun and easy appetizer or snack made with just a few simple ingredients.

Baked Buffalo Cauliflower Bites

cauliflower

Frank's RedHot Sauce (plus more for serving)

butter

olive oil

lemon juice

garlic powder

salt

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside. Transfer cauliflower florets to a large bowl.

In a small bowl whisk together the hot sauce, melted butter, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, and salt. Whisk well to combine. Pour the hot sauce mixture over the cauliflower florets and toss well to coat.

Spread the cauliflower in a single layer over a lined baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes, gently tossing the cauliflower approximately halfway through cooking. Cook until the cauliflower is fork-tender and browned around the edges. Season with black pepper, if desired.

Traditional buffalo wings are deep-fried pieces of chicken doused with a spicy sauce that is very high in sodium. These vegetarian buffalo cauliflower bites are made with baked cauliflower, swapping out the hot sauce with harissa, which is not only more complex in flavor but much lower in salt. Cauliflower buffalo wings are great as a crowd-pleasing appetizer or as a side.

Buffalo Cauliflower

(90 g) unbleached all purpose flour

paprika

Diamond Crystal kosher salt

black pepper

½ cup (120 mL) buttermilk

unsalted butter

harissa (mild

favorite dip (such as yogurt-based ranch,

Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C) with a rack in the center position. Line a half sheet pan with parchment paper.

Place the flour, garlic powder, paprika, ¾ teaspoon kosher salt, and ⅛ teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl and whisk to combine. Stir in the buttermilk and ⅓ cup (80 mL) water and whisk until smooth (if it&#39;s very thick, add another tablespoon of water or so). Place the cauliflower in the batter and toss to coat. One piece at a time, shake off the excess batter and lay the cauliflower florets in a single layer on the sheet pan. Leave enough space between them (about ½-inch) so the cauliflower does not get soggy.

Bake until crispy, 6 to 8 minutes. Carefully flip the florets and bake until the other side is browned, an additional 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside.

Reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C).

Meanwhile, in a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Remove from the heat  and pour into a medium bowl. Add the harissa and stir to combine. Add the cooked cauliflower and gently toss to coat evenly. Discard the parchment paper from the sheet pan and replace with a fresh piece. Return the cauliflower to the baking sheet and and bake for 10 to 15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until browned and crisp. Serve hot, with your choice of dip on the side.
