Buffalo Cauliflower Bites

Cauliflower is such a versatile vegetable and comes with a whole host of health benefits. It’s rich in vitamin C, contains sulforaphane (which has been linked to slowing the growth of cancer cells), and is a great plant based source of choline which is good for brain health.

There’s so many ways to incorporate cauliflower into your diet, you can substitute it for rice in many dishes making the meal lower in carbs, it’s delicious raw in tabbouleh instead of using Bulgar wheat and it’s a fun substitute for meat when cooked the right way. This recipe uses cauliflower instead of chicken and is a hit when served with a garlicky vegan aioli.

Preheat the oven to 220C. Put all the ingredients except the cauliflower and oil into a large bowl and stir well until combined.

Chop the cauliflower up into bite sized pieces, put them all into the mixture and coat well with the batter.

Place onto a baking tray (you can line the tray if you choose) make sure they’re spread out evenly.

Bake for around 10-15 minutes, take out and turn them all over, put back in for another 10-15 minutes, the timing really does depend on the size of your pieces.

I crisped my bites up a bit more under the grill for around 3 minutes before serving with a garlicky vegan aioli or you can try them with this delicious Hemp & Wasabi Mayo.
