Cook up this crispy buffalo cauliflower for quick snack anytime. With a crispy coating, oven-baked cauliflower bites are delicious tossed in buffalo sauce.
This Buffalo Cauliflower recipe is the perfect spicy and savory appetizer.
Preheat oven to 450°F.
Cut cauliflower into bite-sized pieces and discard the core.
Combine milk, flour, oil, garlic powder, and pepper in a large bowl. Place batter and cauliflower in a large zippered bag and gently toss until cauliflower is coated.
Pour cauliflower into a large strainer, letting any excess batter drip off. You want just a light coating of batter. Sprinkle with Panko breadcrumbs and gently toss.
Place on a foil-lined pan and bake for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and gently toss with buffalo sauce. Cauliflower should be coated but not soaked.
Place cauliflower back on the pan and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes or until cauliflower is tender-crisp.
Serve with ranch or blue cheese dressing.
Ensure the cauliflower is very dry after washing. You can use a salad spinner or shake it dry in a clean towel. Try to wash it the day before if possible.
Toss the cauliflower in the wet batter and let most of the excess drip off, leaving just a light coating.
Don’t add too much Buffalo sauce to the cauliflower, just toss until lightly coated.
If some of your friends/family don’t like spice, leave a few florets aside when adding buffalo sauce and season them with salt and black pepper instead. Serve them with your favorite dips.
