Provided by Saputo

Categories     Trusted Brands: Recipes and Tips

Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 18

¼ cup sour cream
3 tablespoons Stella® blue cheese crumbles
1 tablespoon whole milk
1 pinch garlic powder
1 pinch onion powder
1 pinch salt
¼ cup whole milk
¼ cup lager beer
½ cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
1 small head cauliflower, trimmed and cut into florets
Cooking spray
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
½ cup Buffalo wing sauce
6 celery stalks, trimmed and cut into 6-inch pieces, or more to taste

Steps:

  • To make the sauce, combine the sour cream, blue cheese, whole milk, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and transfer to the refrigerator until serving.
  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment or foil and set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, add the whole milk, beer, all-purpose flour, garlic powder, onion powder, baking powder, and salt; mix until everything is just combined, being sure to not overmix.
  • Dip each cauliflower floret into the batter, allowing any excess to run off, and transfer to the baking sheet. Repeat dipping process until you've worked your way through all of the florets.
  • Spray the tops of the florets with cooking spray; this will help with the crisp factor. Transfer the baking sheet to the oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until the tops are lightly golden brown.
  • Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, melt the butter and pour in the Buffalo wing sauce. Mix until combined. Remove the cauliflower from the oven and drizzle half of the sauce atop the florets. Return the cauliflower to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes.
  • Using a pair of tongs, add the cauliflower florets to the saucepan with the Buffalo mixture and gently toss, until all of the florets are completely coated in sauce.
  • Transfer to a large plate and serve alongside the dipping sauce and freshly cut celery.

Tips for Making the Best Buffalo Cauliflower Bites:

  • Choose the right cauliflower. Look for a head of cauliflower that is firm and white, with no brown spots. A large head of cauliflower will yield about 2 cups of florets.
  • Cut the cauliflower into evenly sized florets. This will help them cook evenly. Aim for florets that are about 1-2 inches in size.
  • Coat the cauliflower florets in a thin layer of oil. This will help them crisp up in the oven. You can use olive oil, avocado oil, or even cooking spray.
  • Season the cauliflower florets with your favorite spices. Some popular options include paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper. You can also add a pinch of salt and pepper.
  • Bake the cauliflower florets at a high temperature. This will help them get crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Aim for a temperature of 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Make sure to flip the cauliflower florets halfway through cooking. This will ensure that they cook evenly on all sides.
  • Serve the buffalo cauliflower bites with your favorite dipping sauce. Some popular options include blue cheese dressing, ranch dressing, or honey mustard. You can also sprinkle them with chopped green onions or parsley.

Conclusion:

Buffalo cauliflower bites are a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional chicken wings. They are perfect for parties, game days, or a quick and easy snack. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make your own buffalo cauliflower bites at home in no time. So next time you're craving something spicy and satisfying, give this recipe a try!
