For this recipe, all you need is to coat your cauliflower in a hot sauce mixture, cook in the oven for 20 minutes and then they are ready to enjoy. YES! They are that simple to make. Super healthy and simple alternative to traditional buffalo chicken bites. Because this recipe is all about saving time and we have narrowed it down to only a few steps, they are not going to be super crispy. You may want to broil them if you are able to keep a close eye on them while they are in the oven.

  1. In the oven right now and they smell great! Going to try with ranch cilantro lime dressing. Thanks for sharing this recipe. Sometime trying to eat healthier is tasteless and boring. These look and smell wonderful.

  2. I liked this a lot, but the sauce dries out in the oven and turns into almost a dry rub. Next time I think I’ll cook the veg for a bit before I toss it in the sauce so I still have some of that goodness at the end.

  3. I made this with my mom last week and am making again tonight for husband. Soooo good and yes the spice is real! Make sure to whip up a Greek yogurt dip on the side to take the edge of the spice off. Or whatever you fancy.

    Awesome recipe and simple!

  4. i made this as the recipe intructs and it was sooo good we are mskungbhem today, using broccoli & instead of buffalo sauce using a sweet chili sauce. both delicious! thanks for sharing your recipe

  5. Thank you so much I made these tonight and my family loved it!!!! They wanted more. I ran out of cauliflower.

  6. Just popped these in the oven before we ate them all raw! Haha! Can’t wait to taste them cooked! Going to make quesadillas with them. Thank you for the recipe.

  7. I would love to make these as a party appetizer. Do you lose the appeal if they ate not broiled? It would be difficult for me to do that. Can these be made in advance and warmed before serving?

    Thank you for sharing this. I love cauliflower.

  8. The vegetarians these days are making alternatives to something good. The broccoli is in place of chicken wings, and it’s cruelty free. As a pescovegan I’d make a vegan ranch dressing and cook the cauliflower. But most people will say ‘it’s not as good as the real thing’, maybe it is, it’s superdelicious. <3

  9. I have made this recipe a number of times —–I love the healthiness of as well as the flavor. I use a convection oven and have tried baking them as small florets as well as larger ones. Mine are delicous, but i would like them to be a little more tender without being burnt—-any suggestions? Thanx for the wonderful recipe.
