Got a craving for chicken wings? Our recipe for Baked Buffalo Cauliflower hits the spot! Its a much healthier dish than what you’d get at a sports bar, fried wings dowsed in a buttery sauce. We baked the cauliflower with just a drizzle of olive oil and spices and then lighted tossed in a buffalo and honey house. Instead of a thick blue cheese dressing, we topped our “wings” with feta cheese and used a Greek yogurt-based tzatziki sauce.
WHY CAULIFLOWER?
Besides the florets having a similar shape to a chicken wing, the taste doesn’t overpower the buffalo sauce. It’s a low-calorie vegetable that contains fiber, vitamins (C, K & B6) and minerals. Cauliflower is also a good source of antioxidants which helps reduce inflammation.
