These oven-baked buffalo cauliflower bites are tender and flavourful with a kick of heat. They are easy to make and are the perfect snack or party appetizer.
Wash the cauliflower and cut the florets off the core. Cut bigger pieces in half or quarters if you have to. You want to get them to be a relatively similar size. Move the florets to a large bowl.
1.25 lbs cauliflower
Melt the butter in a small microwave-safe bowl for 10 seconds, longer if your butter is not at room temperature.
2 tbsp butter
Add the Red Hots sauce to the butter and stir quickly. The cold red hots will start to solidify some of the butter. It’s ok if there are some curds in the sauce, just as long as it’s still flowing.
¼ cup red hots
Pour the sauce over the cauliflower and stir to coat as evenly as possible. I like to use silicone spatulas as they help to bring up any sauce that coats the bowl. They’re also very gently on the cauliflower.
Spread the coated cauliflower onto a parchment-lined cookie sheet and bake for 30 minutes.
Serve as a side to your favourite meal, add to your salad or have it on its own as a snack. Don’t forget your ranch or blue cheese dip!
