Buffalo Cauliflower
June 4, 2019
Jump to recipeLooking for buffalo wing substitute? Then these buffalo cauliflower bites are for you! This easy cauliflower recipe is drowned in buffalo sauce for those buffalo sauce lovers and showered in blue cheese crumbles.
My mom and older sister love buffalo cauliflower. We went happy hour a while back and one of their items are cauliflower buffalo bites. I never even heard of them before and got an order.
And they are delicious! I decided to try making my own version when my family came over to my house for lunch one day and they loved them! I didn’t realize they were all gone until after my family left and I was cleaning up.
Some of us are huge blue cheese fans. I know my husband and I are! We are not ashamed of sprinkling blue cheese by the handful but we have to control ourselves. Mainly because my younger sister is not a blue cheese person, so the blue cheese is optional or can be put on the side.
I really hope you enjoy this! So, try this out and don’t forget to tag me on Instagram or Facebook. I would love to see your creation!
