Spicy and delicious! These cauliflower buffalo bites are a great appetizer for vegetarians or if you are looking to try something a little different.
The batter might seem a little thick, but this is good. You want to ensure that each piece is well coated.
During the last 5 minutes of baking, put your serving plate in the oven. This will keep the cauliflower buffalo bites nice and hot after plating. Just remember the plate is hot so don’t touch it with your bare hands!
