Buffalo Cauliflower Bites

One of the unhealthy I developed due to my husbands cravings - his need for anything deep fried, one of his favorite late night snacks - chicken wings.  Now I want a healthier snack but I still love that hot spicy sauce—I just want it without the added oil, and I really don’t want the wings. Buffalo Cauliflower Bites do the trick! They are full of flavor and spice without all the bad stuff.

INGREDIENTS

• ½ cup water
• ¼ cup almond butter
• ½ cup red hot sauce, plus extra for tossing with the cooked bites
• ¾ cup whole wheat pastry flour
• ¼ cup nutritional yeast
• 1 ½ Tbsp granulated garlic
• 1 large head cauliflower, cut into 1-inch florets (about 6 cups)

PREPARATION

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
2. Combine everything but the cauliflower in a large bowl. Mix well. Add the cauliflower florets and toss to coat well.
3. Place the coated florets on a nonstick baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 25 minutes or until golden brown.
4. Toss with extra red hot sauce if desired.
