Low Carb Buffalo Cauliflower Bites Ingredients

As someone who is always looking for new low-carb recipes, I was thrilled to discover this delicious and healthy twist on classic buffalo wings. These low-carb buffalo cauliflower bites are perfect for a party appetizer or a quick and easy weeknight dinner. Here are the ingredients you’ll need to make them:

• 1 head of cauliflower, cut into bite-sized florets
• 1/2 cup almond flour
• 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 1/2 cup hot sauce (such as Frank’s RedHot)
• 1/4 cup butter, melted

To make these low-carb buffalo cauliflower bites, you’ll start by preheating your oven to 450°F and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, almond milk, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until you have a smooth batter. Add the cauliflower florets to the bowl and toss to coat them evenly with the batter.

Next, spread the cauliflower florets out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake them in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender and golden brown.

While the cauliflower is baking, you can prepare the buffalo sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together the hot sauce and melted butter until you have a smooth, creamy sauce.

Once the cauliflower is done baking, remove it from the oven and transfer it to a large bowl. Pour the buffalo sauce over the cauliflower and toss to coat the florets evenly with the sauce.

And that’s it! These low-carb buffalo cauliflower bites are ready to serve. They’re delicious on their own, but you can also serve them with celery sticks and blue cheese dressing for a classic buffalo wing experience.

Tips for Making Perfect Keto Buffalo Cauliflower Bites

As someone who has made these Low Carb Buffalo Cauliflower Bites many times, I have some tips and tricks that can help you achieve the perfect crispy, spicy, and delicious bites.

First, it’s important to cut the cauliflower into even-sized florets so that they cook evenly. I recommend cutting them into bite-sized pieces that are about 1-2 inches in diameter. You can also remove any excess stem or leaves to make them easier to coat and eat.

When it comes to coating the cauliflower, I find that using a mixture of almond flour and spices works best. You can also add some grated parmesan cheese for extra flavor and crunch. Make sure to coat each floret completely and evenly, so that they cook evenly and have a crispy texture.

Another important tip is to bake the cauliflower on a wire rack instead of directly on a baking sheet. This allows for air to circulate around the cauliflower, which helps it cook evenly and become crispy. You can also lightly spray the wire rack with cooking spray to prevent the cauliflower from sticking.

When it comes to the buffalo sauce, I recommend using a combination of hot sauce and melted butter or ghee. You can also add some garlic powder, paprika, and salt for extra flavor. Mix the sauce together in a bowl, and then toss the cooked cauliflower in the sauce until it’s evenly coated.

Finally, I recommend serving the Low Carb Buffalo Cauliflower Bites with a side of ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping. This adds a creamy and cool contrast to the spicy and crispy cauliflower bites.

By following these tips, you can make perfect Keto Buffalo Cauliflower Bites that are crispy, spicy, and delicious every time.
