Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • Cauliflower (1 medium head, cut into florets)
  • Almond flour (1 cup)
  • Egg (1, beaten)
  • Butter (4 tablespoons, melted)
  • Hot sauce (1/2 cup)
  • Garlic powder (1 teaspoon)
  • Paprika (1 teaspoon)
  • Black pepper (1/2 teaspoon)
  • Salt (1/2 teaspoon)
  • Celery sticks (for serving)
  • Ranch dressing (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
  3. Dip each cauliflower floret into the beaten egg, allowing any excess to drip off, then coat it thoroughly with the almond flour mixture. Place the coated florets on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced out evenly.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cauliflower is crispy and golden brown, flipping halfway through for even cooking.
  5. While the cauliflower is baking, prepare the buffalo sauce by mixing the melted butter and hot sauce together in a small bowl.
  6. Once the cauliflower is done baking, remove it from the oven and drizzle the hot sauce mixture over the florets. Toss gently to coat each piece evenly.
  7. Return the cauliflower to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes to allow the sauce to set.
  8. Serve the buffalo cauliflower bites hot, accompanied by creamy ranch dressing and fresh celery sticks for dipping.
