A Plant-Based Twist with Southern Heat

If you’re craving the heat of Buffalo wings but want a lighter, veggie-forward option, these Buffalo Cauliflower Bites are it. Perfectly crisp on the outside, tender on the inside, and drenched in that signature spicy-sweet Buffalo sauce, this dish is a crowd-pleasing appetizer that won’t disappoint.

Cauliflower may not be a traditional soul food staple, but it’s quickly earning its place on the plate thanks to its versatility and ability to soak up bold flavors. This recipe—courtesy of food creator Trinae aka SpiceItUpWithNae—offers a vegan-friendly twist that’s ideal for game day, a party snack, or a quick weeknight craving.


Ingredients

  • Ranch or blue cheese dressing, for serving
  • 2 whole cauliflowers (cut into florets)
  • Olive oil
  • Honey (or agave for vegan version)
  • Buffalo wing sauce
  • Black pepper
  • Onion powder
  • Garlic powder
  • Complete Seasoning

How to Make Buffalo Cauliflower Bites

Step 1: Prep Your Cauliflower

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Rinse and chop cauliflower into bite-sized florets.
  3. Toss the florets in olive oil to lightly coat.

Step 2: Season Generously

  1. Sprinkle cauliflower with black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and Complete Seasoning.
  2. Toss well to ensure every piece is seasoned.

Step 3: Roast to Crispy Perfection

  1. Spread the seasoned florets evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  2. Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and slightly crisp.

Step 4: Toss in Buffalo Sauce

  1. In a bowl, mix Buffalo wing sauce with a drizzle of honey (or agave).
  2. Toss the roasted cauliflower in the sauce mixture until fully coated.

Step 5: Optional Broil for Extra Crisp

  1. Return the sauced cauliflower to the baking sheet.
  2. Broil on high for 3–5 minutes until the edges char slightly and crisp up.

Step 6: Serve and Dip

  1. Plate the bites with a side of ranch dressing or blue cheese.
  2. Serve hot and watch them disappear!

Pro Tips + Serving Suggestions

  • Make It Vegan: Swap honey for agave and double-check your Buffalo sauce and dressing for dairy-free options.
  • Add a Crunchy Coating: For a crispy fried alternative, toss your florets in panko or flour before roasting.
  • Air Fryer Option: Cut roasting time in half by air-frying at 400°F for 15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway.
  • Pair It With: Celery sticks, sweet potato fries, or your favorite slider for a full-on plant-based game day spread.

Whether you’re a die-hard meat lover or just experimenting with plant-based meals, these Buffalo Cauliflower Bites deliver serious flavor without compromise.
