Buffalo Cauliflower Bites

Okay, its football season which means unhealthy food season right? WRONG. My favorite thing to do is take my favorite unhealthy dishes and find a health alternative. It satisfies the craving but keeps you on track with your goals! Tonight was Monday Night Football, so I decided to try out these Buffalo Cauliflower Bites! I was SO impressed with how they turned out - no need for this girl to indulge in the unhealthy wings anymore! They were pretty simple to make, were moist in the middle but had a crispy crust! And the buffalo sauce totally tricked me into thinking I was eating wings! You guys just have to try these out - they are gonna be a staple in this house now!!

Adapted from The Clean Eating Machine

Ingredients:

• 1 head of cauliflower, chopped into bite size pieces

• 1/2 cup brown rice flour (I used whole wheat because thats what I had!)

• 1/2 - 3/4 cup water

• Pinch of salt

• Pinch of garlic powder

• Non-stick spray

• 1 tsp olive oil

• 1/2 cup Frank's Red Hot Sauce

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 450F.

2. In a small bowl, combine flour, water, garlic powder and salt. Mix thoroughly with a whisk. I added a little more water than 1/2 cup until my batter was a little smoother and a little thinner than pancake batter.

3. Dip cauliflower pieces in the batter until coated evenly, then place on a lightly greased, non-stick baking sheet.

4. Bake for about 10 minutes or until the batter hardens, then flip with a spatula and bake for another 8 minutes.

5. Whisk together Frank’s Red Hot sauce and olive oil in a small bowl.

6. When the cauliflower is finished, add them to a large mixing bowl and pour the sauce on top, stirring well with a spoon until all of the pieces are evenly coated.

7. Bake coated cauliflower for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until cauliflower is crispy, and sauce looks absorbed.

8. Remove from oven.

9. Let cauliflower bites cool.

10. Enjoy!
