Ingredients

• Cooking spray
• 2 medium heads cauliflower, cut into small florets
• 1 cup brown rice flour, chickpea flour, or any flour available
• 1 cup water
• 2 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp salt
• 2 tsp butter
• 1⅓ cups Frank’s Hot Sauce

Instructions

1. Start by thoroughly rinsing the cauliflower florets under warm running water for 20 seconds to remove any dirt.
2. Preheat your oven to 450 degrees F and prepare a rimmed baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or spraying it with cooking spray.
3. In a large bowl, toss the cauliflower florets with your choice of flour, water, garlic powder, and salt until they are evenly coated.
4. Spread the coated cauliflower evenly on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes.
5. While the cauliflower is baking, melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Once melted, add in the Frank’s Hot Sauce and stir until well combined.
6. After the initial 20 minutes of baking, remove the cauliflower from the oven and pour the butter and hot sauce mixture over the top, tossing gently to coat each floret.
7. Return the cauliflower to the oven and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the cauliflower reaches 145 degrees F when tested with an instant-read thermometer.
8. Once done, serve the buffalo cauliflower bites warm and enjoy the flavorful goodness guilt-free.
