Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crispy Baked Buffalo Cauliflower Bites.
Step 1
In a medium bowl, blend sour cream, blue cheese crumbles, whole milk, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt to craft a delicious dipping sauce.
Step 2
Cover it with plastic wrap and let it chill in the refrigerator until you're ready to indulge.
Step 3
Preheat your oven to a sizzling 450°F (232°C) and prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil.
Step 4
In another medium bowl, whisk together whole milk, beer, all-purpose flour, garlic powder, onion powder, baking powder, and salt until just combined, taking care not to overmix.
Step 5
Dip each cauliflower floret into the batter, letting any excess drip off, and arrange them on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 6
Once all florets are coated, give the tops a light spray of cooking spray to achieve that perfect crispiness.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the tops turn a beautiful golden brown.
Step 8
While the cauliflower bakes, melt butter in a medium saucepan and stir in the Buffalo wing sauce until well blended.
Step 9
When the cauliflower is ready, drizzle half of the sauce over the florets and pop them back in the oven for an extra 5 minutes.
Step 10
Using tongs, transfer the baked cauliflower to the saucepan with the remaining Buffalo sauce and gently toss to ensure each piece is evenly coated.
Step 11
Serve these crispy Buffalo cauliflower bites on a large plate alongside the creamy blue cheese dip and fresh celery sticks for a delightful snack or appetizer that will impress your guests.
Step 12
Enjoy the perfect balance of heat and creaminess in every bite!.
