BUFFALO CAULIFLOWER BITES

Steps:

• Buffalo Sauce: Melt coconut oil in small saucepan over low heat. Whisk in hot sauce, brown sugar, and vinegar until combined. Remove from heat and cover to keep warm; set aside.
• For the Cauliflower: Line platter with multiple layers of paper towels. Add oil to large Dutch (about 6 quart and cast iron works great) oven until it measures about 1 1/2 inches deep and heat over medium-high heat to 400 degrees. While oil heats, combine cornstarch, cornmeal, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in small bowl. Whisk coconut milk and hot sauce together in large bowl. Add cauliflower; toss to coat well. Sprinkle cornstarch mixture over cauliflower; fold with rubber spatula until thoroughly coated.
• Fry half of cauliflower, adding 1 or 2 pieces to oil at a time, until golden and crisp, gently stirring as needed to prevent pieces from sticking together, about 3 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer fried cauliflower to the paper-lined platter.
• Return oil to 400 degrees and repeat with remaining cauliflower. Transfer 1/2 cup sauce to clean large bowl, add fried cauliflower and gently toss to coat. Serve immediately with dressing and remaining sauce.

BUFFALO CAULIFLOWER WITH BLUE CHEESE SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• For the cheese sauce: Whisk together the sour cream, blue cheese, milk, mayonnaise, 1/8 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a small bowl. Cover and refrigerate until chilled, about 30 minutes
• For the Buffalo cauliflower: Meanwhile, microwave the butter in a small microwave-safe bowl on high until melted. Whisk in the hot sauce and lemon juice and set aside.
• Mix olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 cup water in a large bowl. Add the cauliflower and toss until well coated. Spread the cauliflower on a rimmed baking sheet and roast until beginning to brown and just tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Whisk the hot sauce mixture again, drizzle over the cauliflower and toss with tongs to coat. Roast the cauliflower until the sauce is bubbling and browned around the edges, 5 to 7 minutes more. Serve hot with the cheese sauce.

AIR FRYER BUFFALO CAULIFLOWER BITES

Steps:

• Spray the basket of a 6-quart air fryer with cooking spray and set aside.
• Arrange the cauliflower on a baking sheet and set up a breading station next to it: Fill one shallow bowl with the Parmesan breadcrumbs, another shallow bowl with the panko breadcrumbs and third shallow bowl with the eggs and milk. Whisk together the eggs and milk together until combined.
• Working with several cauliflower florets at a time, roll them in the egg mixture until fully coated, shake off excess egg, then roll them in the Parmesan breadcrumbs until fully coated. Roll them in the egg mixture a second time, shaking off excess egg, and finally, roll them in the panko breadcrumbs until fully coated. Transfer the breaded pieces back to the baking sheet. Repeat until all the cauliflower florets are breaded.
• Preheat an air fryer to 370 degrees F. Preheat your oven to 250 degrees F.
• Pick up each cauliflower floret and spray it all over with nonstick spray, making sure to coat every nook and cranny. Arrange some of the florets in a single layer in the air fryer basket without touching (you will probably have to work in two batches). Air fry the florets, flipping them once, until golden and crispy, about 12 minutes. Transfer the cooked cauliflower to a baking sheet and place in the oven to keep warm. Air fry the remaining cauliflower.
• Meanwhile, melt the butter in a large, shallow microwave-safe bowl, about 1 minute. Whisk in the hot sauce. Add the cauliflower to the bowl and toss to combine with the hot sauce until fully coated.
• For the crispiest results, serve the bites immediately sprinkled with chives with the dressing alongside. As the bites sit, they'll become slightly less crispy, just like wings, but they'll still be just as tasty.

BUFFALO CAULIFLOWER

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7 and line a baking tray with baking parchment. Mix together the paprika, cumin, garlic powder, flour and ½ tsp salt in a large bowl. Make a well in the centre and whisk in the buttermilk. Tip in the cauliflower and toss to coat. Spread out the cauliflower on the baking tray and cook for 20-25 mins, turning halfway through, until crisp at the edges.
• Warm the hot sauce, maple syrup and butter in a small pan set over low heat, for 2-3 mins. Liberally brush over the cauliflower and put back in the oven for 8-10 mins.
• For the ranch dip, whisk together the yogurt, mayo, chives, milk and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Serve the with the cauliflower alongside some celery sticks for dipping.
