Baked Buffalo Cauliflower
With the biggest football game of the year right around the corner, this week I’ve got party food on my mind. We tend to crave bold tantalizing snacks with tons of texture and comforting appeal. Although buffalo wings and pizza are usually our go-to game day snacks, it’s fun to mix things up, and even sneak in a few veggies here and there.
Cauliflower Buffalo Wings?
Today’s Buffalo Cauliflower Wings offers the spicy flavors of buffalo chicken wings, yet is much lighter and leaner, since the base of the recipe is cauliflower. In fact, this recipe has only 102 calories, 7 grams of fat, and 3.2 grams of carbs per serving! Because you can hold the stems of the baked buffalo cauliflower florets, they give you the feeling of eating buffalo wings! The cauliflower is roasted on a baking sheet with a few strips of bacon. As the bacon crisps in the oven, the cauliflower sizzles in the bacon grease to give it a little fatty richness.

How long can they last in the fridge?
These wings will last in the fridge for up to 4 days when sealed in a container properly.
Why are my cauliflower wings soggy?
The “wings” can become soggy if they have too much sauce on them, which is why I prefer to drizzle the sauce on instead of tossing them in the sauce.
How do I reheat these cauliflower wings?
Reheating these in the microwave will end up making the wings soft and soggy. However warming them up in the oven at 400 degrees F, will help to keep them crispy.
Can I use frozen cauliflower?
I personally would not use frozen cauliflower since the texture after cooking might not reflect the texture of the fresh cauliflower head.
What other toppings can I use?
You can also add cheddar cheese, green onions, or olives to this recipe. Or you can top your salad with these cauliflower buffalo wings for a great way to get your greens in.
