Ingredients

• 1 head cauliflower
• 0.5 cup whole wheat flour
• 0.5 cup water
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup hot sauce
• 0.25 cup low-fat Greek yogurt
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 0 olive oil spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Wash and cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets, ensuring they are relatively uniform in size for even cooking.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, water, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth to form the batter.

Step 4

Add the cauliflower florets to the batter and toss until each piece is well-coated.

Step 5

Spread the coated cauliflower evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure the pieces are not touching to allow them to crisp up properly.

Step 6

Lightly spray the tops of the cauliflower with olive oil spray.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, turning the cauliflower halfway through to ensure even cooking.

Step 8

While the cauliflower is baking, combine the hot sauce, low-fat Greek yogurt, and honey in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir frequently until heated through.

Step 9

Once the cauliflower has finished baking, remove it from the oven and brush each piece generously with the buffalo sauce mixture.

Step 10

Return the cauliflower to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the sauce to soak in and become sticky.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.

Step 12

Serve the Low Fat Buffalo Cauliflower Bites warm, perhaps alongside a low-fat ranch or blue cheese dip for an extra treat.
