Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
Season Cauliflower: In a large bowl, toss the cauliflower florets with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until each floret is evenly coated with the seasoning.
Roast Cauliflower: Spread the seasoned cauliflower florets in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet and roast for 25 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and become tender.
Add Buffalo Sauce: Remove the roasted cauliflower from the oven, drizzle with buffalo sauce, and toss to make sure all pieces are well coated with the sauce.
Final Roast: Return the buffalo-coated cauliflower to the oven and roast for an additional 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the sauce to slightly caramelize.
Serve: Serve the buffalo cauliflower bites warm, paired with your favorite dipping sauce for an irresistible snack or appetizer.

Notes

For extra crispiness, make sure the cauliflower florets are spaced out in a single layer on the baking sheet without overcrowding.
Use homemade or store-bought buffalo sauce depending on your preference and desired heat level.
These bites are best eaten fresh but can be reheated in the oven to retain crispiness.
To make this dish vegan, ensure the buffalo sauce you use is dairy-free.
