TIPS AND TRICKS:
Make sure to space out the cauliflower pieces on the parchment paper to make sure they can crispy on all sides.
Instant buttermilk – If you don’t have buttermilk on hand, make your own with whatever milk you like (planted based or regular milk) by adding 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar or lemon juice to 3/4 cup milk! Let stand for 5 minutes to thicken and then use as directed.
Substitute – I used Buffalo wild wings “Thai curry sauce”, you can use Frank’s hot sauce or any other hot sauce of your choice.
Vegan – If you like to make vegan buffalo cauliflower bites, simple swap the buttermilk for plant based buttermilk and the butter for coconut oil or vegan butter.
Gluten free – If you’d like to make these gluten free, swap out the all purpose flour for gluten free flour.
