Spicy BBQ Cauliflower Bites


Course Dinner
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 1 hour
Total Time 1 hour 10 minutes
Servings 3 People

Ingredients

  • 1 head caulifower
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 1/4 cup Frank's hot sauce
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 3/4 cup BBQ Sauce
  • 1 tbsp butter

Instructions

  1. Grease baking sheet and turn oven to 450 degrees 

  2. Wash and break apart cauliflower into bite sized florets

  3. In large bowl combine the milk, water, flour, and seasonings. I sometimes add a bit of extra water/milk at this step if the consistency of the batter isn't right. It should be able to easily coat the cauliflower without dripping off. 


  4. Add the florets to the batter mixture. Make sure the florets are evenly coated by the batter.

  5. Dump the bowl onto your cooking sheet. I like to make sure my cooking sheet has edges to keep any excess sauce on the sheet and not on the oven floor. 

  6. Spread the cauliflower evenly on baking sheet and bake in oven for 20 minutes

  7. While the cauliflower is in the oven. Over low heat melt the butter in a sauce pan, once melted add in the BBQ sauce and the Frank's. Combine evenly and set aside. 

  8. In a large bowl pour in the BBQ Sauce and Frank's mixture.

  9. After the cauliflower has baked for the 20 minutes in the oven take remove it from the oven and using a spatula scrape the florets free from the pan and into the large bowl containing your BBQ Sauce/Frank's

  10. Evenly coat the florets and return to the baking sheet. 

  11. Return to oven and bake for an additional 20 minutes. This is an area where you may want to take your own liberties. I usually end up baking mine for longer than 20 minutes and then turning the oven to broil for about 3 minutes. With the heavy coating of BBQ Sauce it isn't easy to get these babies crispy. If you want them to have any crispiness to them then you will want to bake longer. They are AMAZING either way.
