Buffalo Cauliflower Bites

oven baked cauliflower bites with hot sauce

If you are looking for a fun, veggie packed snack for game day, look no further!

These Buffalo Cauliflower Bites are coated in a batter of white whole wheat flour, water, and spices and then baked until crispy and tossed in hot sauce to create a simple and flavorful snack that would be perfect for Super Bowl Sunday (or a Tuesday night dinner!).

In typical, buffalo wing fashion, I like to serve them with some carrots, celery, and blue cheese dressing on the side.
