Baked Buffalo Cauliflower Bites

These are the thing I bring to any casual gathering. Even people who claim to hate cauliflower demolish them.

The double-baking method is the whole secret to properly crispy bites. Serve them alongside my crispy quesadillas for a proper snack table.

Ingredients

Instructions

1. Heat the oven to 220°C (425°F) and line a large tray with parchment.
2. Whisk the flour, milk, garlic powder, paprika and salt into a smooth batter.
3. Dip each cauliflower floret into the batter, letting excess drip off, and place on the tray.
4. Bake 15 minutes until set and starting to crisp.
5. Meanwhile, whisk the hot sauce, melted butter and honey.
6. Toss the baked cauliflower with the sauce, return to the tray, and bake another 8–10 minutes until sticky and deeply glazed. Serve with dip.

Cooking tips

• Cut the florets to roughly the same size so they cook evenly.
• Use a rack on top of the tray if you have one — extra crisp.
• Best eaten fresh from the oven. They soften if left too long.
