Cauliflower-lovers, vegetarians and vegans, rejoice. This Buffalo Cauliflower Bites recipe ZINGS and is oh-so-tasty, you’ll want to serve it up time and time again.
Wow! If you have ever needed inspiration to enjoy cauliflower, here it is! Just like the chicken version of Buffalo Wings or Bites, this 100% vegetarian version is scrumptious and has plenty of chilli zing.
Basically it is battered cauliflower pieces or florets in small delicious portions then oven-baked. The batter coats the florets in such a way as to taste a little decadent, yet not so thick as to be rubbery. As you are in control of the recipe, you can add at much or as little chilli relish as required to best suit your preferences.
