Crispy Buffalo Cauliflower "Wings"
I have been wanting to remake these since I last shared them about a year ago - I played around with the recipe a bit and prefer them the way that I am sharing with you today.
These buffalo cauliflower bites came out so crispy and spicy, you just need one bowl and about 45 minutes! I think they make the perfect appetizer during those Sunday football games or on top or a salad or inside a taco shell.
They are easy to make and just require a few ingredients. This time around I decided to make a batter for the cauliflower by mixing together flour, water, and a few other spices. I lightly coated the florets with the batter and baked them in the oven until they became crispy. Once they were finished baking, I added the hot sauce mixture over the florets and continued to bake it once again. I love dipping these in my favorite non dairy ranch or extra hot sauce!
They will last a few days in the fridge and you can always reheat them up again in the oven or toss them cold over a salad or in a taco shell!
I hope you enjoy them!

4 cups of chopped cauliflower florets
1/2 cup warm water
