Spicy Buffalo Cauliflower Bites

I found this recipe right before Super Bowl one year and it seemed like the perfect lower carb appetizer to take to a party with me. I was right! It was delicious and I’ve been making it ever since.

Super Bowl is right around the corner! For those of you celebrating the occasion or even having a family gathering, this "healthified" recipe makes a tasty appetizer or finger food for your party. We love buffalo flavoring but usually it's incorporated with fried chicken or chicken wings. This is such a delicious flavor combo but usually loaded with calories. This spicy buffalo cauliflower bites recipe is the perfect alternative to the fried, calorie laden typical recipe.
