Here are tips on how to make them: Roast the Cauliflower The first step is to roast the cauliflower florets on a large rimmed baking sheet at 450°F until they start to soften and brown on the bottom. It's important to not overcook them at this point because they will go back in the oven after tossing them in the Sriracha-Buffalo sauce. Toss the Roasted Cauliflower in Sriracha-Buffalo Sauce After roasting the cauliflower florets, toss them in Sriracha-Buffalo sauce. The sauce consists of just four ingredients: hot sauce, Sriracha, butter and lemon juice. Use your favorite brand of hot sauce and Sriracha to taste. Then continue roasting the cauliflower for an additional 5 minutes until hot. How to Serve Sriracha-Buffalo Cauliflower Bites To complement the fiery heat of the Sriracha-Buffalo cauliflower bites, consider adding an array of complementary flavors and textures to your spread. Alongside crisp carrot sticks and refreshing celery, why not include a medley of crunchy cucumber slices or thinly sliced bell peppers for an added burst of freshness? Enhance the experience further by offering a selection of dipping sauces beyond the classic ranch or blue cheese dressing. Experiment with tangy barbecue sauce, creamy garlic aioli, or even a zesty cilantro-lime yogurt dip to tantalize the taste buds of your guests and provide a variety of flavor profiles to suit every palate. Can I Make Sriracha-Buffalo Cauliflower Bites in an Air Fryer? Although we developed this recipe for the oven, we do have a recipe for Air-Fryer Buffalo Cauliflower that cooks in about half the time.
