SpicenEasy's Fiery Buffalo Cauliflower Bites

• Prep Time: 10 minutes

• Cook Time: 25 minutes

• Serves: 2-3 as a snack

Ingredients:

For the Cauliflower:

• 1 large head of cauliflower, cut into bite-sized florets

• ½ cup plain flour or gluten-free flour

• ½ cup water or plant-based milk

• 1 tsp garlic powder

• ½ tsp salt

For the Buffalo Sauce:

• ½ cup hot sauce (like Frank's RedHot)

• 3 tbsp butter or vegan butter, melted

• 1 ½ tsp SpicenEasy Cayenne Pepper

• 1 tbsp maple syrup or honey

• ½ tsp garlic powder

• ½ tsp smoked paprika

To Serve:

• Creamy ranch or blue cheese dressing

• Sliced celery sticks

• Carrot sticks

Instructions:

1. Prep the Oven & Batter: Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, water, garlic powder, and salt to create a smooth batter.

2. Coat the Cauliflower: Add the cauliflower florets to the batter and toss until each piece is evenly coated. Spread the cauliflower in a single layer on the prepared baking tray.

3. Bake: Bake for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the edges are starting to crisp.

4. Make the Sauce: While the cauliflower is baking, whisk together all the Buffalo Sauce ingredients in a large bowl.

5. Coat and Crisp: Once the cauliflower is done its initial bake, carefully transfer the hot florets to the bowl with the Buffalo Sauce. Gently toss until every piece is gloriously coated. Return the cauliflower to the baking tray and bake for another 5 minutes to set the sauce.

6. Serve Immediately: Serve your spicy buffalo cauliflower bites hot from the oven with a side of cool, creamy dressing and fresh celery sticks.

Chef's Tip: *For extra-crispy results, you can spray the battered cauliflower with a little cooking oil before the first bake. The SpicenEasy Cayenne Pepper in the sauce not only adds heat but also a beautiful, deep red colour. Adjust the amount to your preferred spice level—start with 1 tsp if you're sensitive to heat!*
