Buffalo and BBQ Cauliflower Bites [Not Even Sad There Is No Chicken]
Jump to recipe
It’s Superbowl time baby! I have seen enough Superbowl party food spreads to know that vegetables are not usually the star. Maybe a few people pick up a carrot stick as a vessel for blue cheese dressing, but other than that, no one is getting excited about vegetables on Superbowl Sunday…until now. Introducing cauliflower bites:
And the crowd goes wild!!!!
No seriously though, these are awesome. They are super simple to make and you can sauce them however your like; BBQ sauce and Buffalo sauce shown here. Dip them into an avocado dill dressing and you will feel like a winner (even if you are a Falcon’s fan…ohhhh burn). I know you have a party to prepare for, so let’s get cooking!
Happy eating and best health (go Pat’s),
