Delicious Buffalo Roasted Cauliflower Recipe
I’ve jumped on the cauliflower band wagon and now can’t get enough of this amazing Buffalo Roasted Cauliflower recipe!
If you have never liked cauliflower before, then this is the first recipe you should try.
With only 50 calories per serving, it’s worth every spicy bite! I love making air fryer appetizers, but this might be one of my all time favorites.
In our home, we love all things spicy, especially Buffalo sauce. I think my son goes through a bottle a week!
This healthy version of fried cauliflower is up there with my favorite Buffalo chicken dip.
As I’m trying to get my family to eat more vegetables, this Roasted Cauliflower has definitely been a hit.
For example, right after taking photos of this recipe, I handed a cup full to my husband. He said “Is this cauliflower? No thanks!” I convinced him to try it and he ate the whole cup! Believe me… it’s good!
Why is Cauliflower so Popular?
Cauliflower is the hot new vegetable. I’m seeing it everywhere recently bought some tasty cauliflower sandwich thins to replace bread.
Seeing it everywhere got me wondering why is it so popular? Basically, it comes down to the fact that cauliflower has a similar texture to potatoes, but without all the carbs.
With so many people on specific diets such as Keto and limiting carbs, cauliflower become the new potato!
It also has almost as much vitamin C as oranges, plus high in fiber and water, which are important for preventing constipation, maintaining a healthy digestive tract, and lowering the risk ofcolon cancer.
Easy Air Fryer Appetizer
With all of the great health benefits of cauliflower, I had to come up with a yummy appetizer recipe for my air fryer.
You don’t need an air fryer for this recipe as I have both the oven and air fryer recipe for you. But it’s so much quicker in the air fryer, that it might make you want to run out and buy one!
We use our air fryer so much that I need a second one and I’m dying to get this 8 qt extra large air fryer soon.
How to Choose the Best Fresh Cauliflower
When choosing fresh cauliflower, know that it should have a firm head with no dark spots and bright green leaves attached to the stem.
You can store it in the refrigerator in a plastic bag for up to 5 days.
How Should You Serve Roasted Cauliflower?
This Buffalo roasted cauliflower is delicious both cold or hot. Serve it as an appetizer with blue cheese dipping sauce, a side dish with your dinner, loaded in a sandwich or make as a snack when you are craving something savory.
