Get your Buffalo fix on without all the guilt with these Buffalo Cauliflower Bites. Made with a healthy dose of veggies, these Buffalo Cauliflower Wings are great for any occasion.
I Am Hot For Buffalo!
Here at BubbaPie, we love all things Buffalo. Last week, I talked about my aversion to eating meat off the bone. So I generally stay away from traditional Buffalo Chicken Wings (my husband has absolutely no problem with them!). Luckily, there are so many other ways to dive into the zesty, intense flavor of buffalo sauce. There are Buffalo Chicken Pinwheels, Buffalo Chicken Dip, along with boneless wings and lot of other options.
Buffalo Cauliflower Bites
Unfortunately, while a lot of these recipes solve my dilemma of not eating off a bone. Most of them aren’t terribly healthy for you. I do like to try to eat a little healthier whenever possible, so I’m super pumped about Buffalo Cauliflower Bites. I have to admit, I was a little skeptical when I first heard about them. But I was amazed at how much I felt like I was just eating some boneless buffalo chicken wings. In fact, a lot of people call these Buffalo Cauliflower Wings, because, basically, that’s what they are.
They are incredibly easy to make. Just mix the ingredients, coat the cauliflower and bake in the oven! My husband has also made Air Fryer Buffalo Cauliflower Bites and they turned out great as well!
Just make sure that you are using Buffalo Sauce and not normal Hot Sauce. Buffalo Sauce usually has some butter mixed into it, which will work much better in a recipe like this. Check out my great recipe for Buffalo Sauce!

These are so much more healthy for you than traditional wings. And, trust me, you have to try these to realize just how much you won’t miss traditional chicken wings. There are also lots of different ways that you can these Cauliflower Wings. You can dip them in Ranch or Blue Cheese. Remember to serve them with a side of celery or carrots just like you normally would. I also think it would be a great idea to make a salad with these bad boys on top.
