  • Remove the baking sheet from the oven and brush the florets generously with buffalo sauce. Drizzle a little olive oil over them for added crispiness.

  • Once done, remove from the oven and serve immediately with celery sticks and blue cheese dressing if desired.

Notes

Adjust the spiciness by using mild or hot buffalo sauce according to your preference.
These cauliflower bites can be made ahead of time and reheated in the oven to retain crispness.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven for best texture.
