Buffalo Cauliflower Variations

There are plenty of ways to customise your Buffalo Cauliflower bites to suit your taste preferences. For a different flavour profile, try using barbecue sauce instead of buffalo sauce for a sweet and smoky twist. You can also experiment with different spices; adding smoked paprika or cayenne pepper can enhance the heat and depth of flavour. If you want a milder option, consider tossing the cauliflower in a garlic and herb seasoning instead. For those who enjoy a bit of creaminess, serve your buffalo cauliflower with a side of sour cream or blue cheesedip for dipping.

How To Serve Buffalo Cauliflower Bites

If you’re looking to make it a complete meal, consider serving the bites on top of a fresh salad with mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, and avocado for added nutrition.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why won’t my buffalo cauliflower wings get crispy?

If your buffalo cauliflower wings aren’t getting crispy, it could be due to excess moisture on the cauliflower. Make sure to thoroughly dry the cauliflower after washing it and before coating it in batter. Additionally, avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket; giving each piece enough space allows hot air to circulate properly and promotes crispiness.

Can I make these cauliflower wings without buffalo sauce? Is it too spicy?

Yes, you can absolutely make these cauliflower wings without buffalo sauce! If you prefer a milder flavour, consider using a garlic and herb seasoning or barbecue sauce instead. Buffalo sauce can be quite spicy, so if you’re sensitive to heat, feel free to adjust the amount you use or opt for a milder sauce altogether.
