Finding allergy-friendly treats that taste great can be a challenge. I know firsthand, having spent countless hours searching for recipes that would work for Amanda and our whole family. That's why we celebrate the winners!
These cauliflower bites are a hit because they're gluten-free, dairy-free, and nut-free. They're crispy, flavorful, and incredibly satisfying. And the best part? The sauce! We originally went with Buffalo, but Joe and Amanda recently tried BBQ. The possibilities are endless. Just think of them as cauliflower wings!
Tips and Variations:
Along with the sauce being interchangeable, so are the spices and even the veggies. Here are some changes you can try:
Sprinkle nutritional yeast on the cauliflower bites for a dairy-free cheesy flavor.
You can also use this batter and baking method with other veggies like broccoli or zucchini. Get creative!
These cauliflower bites are perfect for meal prep. Just reheat them in the oven or air fryer for a few minutes before munching.

Cauliflower Bites
Ingredients
1 head cauliflower, cleaned and cut into bite-sized pieces

Directions
Preheat the oven to 450°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, flour, garlic powder, and onion powder until mostly smooth. Having a few lumps is okay. Add a generous amount of salt and some pepper into the batter for one last flavor meld.
Very gently, place the cauliflower in the bowl and lightly toss to completely coat the florets with the mixture.
Place the cauliflower on the baking sheet and bake for 15-18 minutes. Meanwhile, combine the sauce of your choice and the melted butter/shortening in a small mixing bowl.
Carefully remove the hot cauliflower from the oven and brush the sauce mixture on each bite. Then, return the cauliflower to the oven and bake for another 5-8 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving.
