I love anything healthy and these buffalo bites are top notch! Loaded with Fiber and a dash of vitamin C. ๐Ÿ™‚

With an option of making it VEGAN!

Instructions:
1. Cut fresh cauliflower head into small/medium bite size florets.
(Leave a little extra stem for easy dipping into sauces!)

2. Mix oat flour and paprika in medium dry bowl. (add a little salt if preferred)

Can use regular all purpose flour if you chose! Whatever gets the job done. ๐Ÿ˜‰

Breading for cauliflower

3. Whisk together egg and hot sauce in dry bowl. (to make vegan, try plant-based melted butter in place of egg)

Egg Wash for Cauliflower

4. Dip each cauliflower floret in wash and then coat with dry mix.
Dip again back in wash and place each in air fryer at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes.

I found turning them midway through helped cook them evenly.
