I have been on a Buffalo chicken kick lately. I love anything with Buffalo sauce on it. Well, man cannot live on Buffalo chicken alone, or so I am told. So, Buffalo cauliflower bites to the rescue! Yep, that same great Buffalo flavor and cool Ranch dressing for dipping, all in a healthy bite.

I Like A Little Char…

I like to finish these Buffalo cauliflower bites off on the grill to get a little char on it, but that’s really not necessary. You can make the entire dish in the oven in no time at all. If you want that little char too just put them under the broiler for a few minutes. Give them a good stir and broil them a bit more to get that char on all sides.

Also try my cauliflower nachos. Yeah, nachos made from cauliflower! Genius!
