Buffalo Cauliflower Bites

LifeInTheBikeLane

So my friend got me Thug Kitchen for Christmas. I thought I might share this awesome recipe I made. I bought premade buffalo sauce (10 calories per tbl) because I didn't feel like making my own sauce but you can do what you want! Please don't mind the cursing in this, it is Thug after all. At the bottom is a picture of how mine turned out!!!

Cauliflower:

2 medium heads cauliflower (about 2 pounds)

1/2 cup spelt flour or whole wheat

1/cup water



Hot Sauce:

2 teaspoons oil, such as coconut or grapeseed

1/2-1/3 cup of Sriracha or a similar hot sauce

1/4 cup rice vinegar

1/2 teaspoon soy sauce



Peanut Dipping Sauce:

1/4 cup warm water

1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter

2 tablespoons rice vinegar

2 tablespoons lime juice

2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger

1 teaspoon soy sauce

1 teaspoon maple syrup



Garnish:

1 cucumber cut into finger-long sticks



Directions:

1.Crank your oven to 450 degrees. Lightly grease a rimmed baking sheet. Chop up your cauliflower into little trees no bigger than your thumb.
2.Whisk together the flour and water in a big bowl until a batter forms with no chunks. Did you already f*** that s*** up. If so, start over so you don’t have chunks! Toss in the cauliflower and mix it around until all the pieces look a little coated. Spread the cauliflower out on a baking sheet and roast for 15 minutes. Mix them all around halfway through roasting so all the edges get a little love. They should be browned. Depending on your oven this may take longer.
3.Make the hot sauce. In a small saucepan, mix the oil, Sriracha, vinegar and soy sauce. Heat over a low heat until the sauce is warm but not bubbling. Turn off the heat and leave it alone.
4.Now it’s time for the peanut dipping sauce. In a medium glass whisk together the water and peanut butter until it all looks creamy. Add all the other ingredients and keep stirring until everything is incorporated. Stick that in the fridge until its go time.
5.After 15 minutes in the oven, dump the cauliflower back into a big bowl and toss it with the hot sauce mixture from the stovetop. Make sure everything is coated. Drop those motherf*****s back on the baking sheet, leaving the extra sauce in the bowl, and roast for another 3 minutes until everything is warm and delicious.
6.Serve hot or at room temperature with the cucumber sticks and peanut dipping sauce on the side.

You don't even need the pasty flour & water mixture, just roast your cauli I the oven for a bit, toss in sauce, roast a bit more and voila. That's what I do.

I realized afterwords that the paste may not be needed. In a way it may have made it more squishy then needed. But goodness gracious it turned out awesome!!!

It was probably one of the easiest recipes I've done! It didn't take long and I had leftovers (a rarity in my household). Since my Love is gone until Tuesday I put it in a sealed container and into the fridge. Put it in the oven for a few minutes after work today and it was still as amazing as when I made it!!!
