Baked Buffalo Cauliflower Bites - Guide Recipe
Baked Buffalo Cauliflower Bites with a dairy-free ranch dipping sauce are loaded with all the flavors of one of our favorite Monday Night Football appetizers , but in a better-for-you option. These spicy bites are meatless and dairy free too! So what do you think my husband thought when I served these up for our game night feast?!
Normally he wouldn't be to keen on a chicken wing alternative , especially one that is completely meatless! When I told him we were taking the #MeatlessMondayNight challenge to start incorporating a more plant-based diet , he groaned "I think we should just do away with all days of the week that start with 'M'!" haha I explained how that wouldn't work , because we could just make it a Tofu Tuesday. He wasn't amused...
When Monday night rolled around , I had these spicy little cauliflower bites ready and waiting for him when he walked in the door from work. As usual , Don is a good sport and will try anything I make , so he dug right in! I was in the other room when I heard , "WOW! If I didn't know better I'd think this was chicken!" SCORE!!
