Cauliflower Sweet Chilli Bites

By Melissak

This is my version of buffalo wings, except its actually good for you, not fried in fat and doesn’t burn the bejesus out of your mouth.

Its a great treat for kids and adults alike.

CAULIFLOWER SWEET CHILLI BITES –  A whole lot of goodness

Ingredients

  • 1 medium head of cauliflower, cut into bite size florets
  • 3/4 cup flour
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced (or 1 tsp garlic powder)
  • 1/2 onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp oregano
  • 1/4 tsp paprika
  • 1/4 tsp salt and pepper
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 2/3 cup sweet chilli sauce

Directions

Preheat oven to 450F/ 232C

In a medium sized bowl add the flour, water, garlic, onion powder, oregano, paprika, salt and pepper.  Whisk until well combined.

Toss the cauliflower into the batter making sure every floret is well covered.

Place battered cauliflower on a well greased baking tray and bake for 15 minutes, making sure to turn halfway.

In a separate bowl combine sweet chilli sauce and olive oil.  When the cauliflower is done toss in the sauce making sure its completely coated.

For a saucier bite you can eat them now, but for a crispier cauliflower bite place back in the oven and bake for a further 5 – 10 minutes.

Serve immediately with any dip your heart desires.
