Buffalo Cauliflower: An Excellent Appetizer

Cauliflower has become fashionable as of late.

I find recipes where cauliflower is standing in for a lot of starchy ingredients. Folks who follow a low-carb eating plan utilize this veggie as a substitute for many things, such as potatoes and even pizza crusts.

But as they say, there is nothing new under the sun. I remember my sister substituting mashed cauliflower for mashed potatoes in her shepherd’s pie when she was on Weight Watchers many years ago.

A Vegetarian Version Of Buffalo Wings

If you are having a party or BBQ where you’ll have some vegetarian friends attending, these roasted buffalo cauliflower florets are a must for your buffet. Of course you don’t have to be vegetarian to like them. In fact, they are so delicious you might want to double the recipe so you don’t run out! These please meat eaters too.

Since the sauce calls for butter, the recipe isn’t vegan. However, substituting vegan butter or coconut oil for the regular butter will make them vegan.

Do Them On The BBQ Grill

These florets cook at a relatively high oven temperature. That’s fine in late fall and winter.

In the summer, just make them on your outside grill. I have used my gas grill for years to roast veggies and it does an excellent job.

I would advise getting a BBQ skillet for roasting vegetables. It’s especially handy for small stuff that can fall through the grates. I’ve used one for years and it was one of the best purchases I made for outdoor cooking.

    This sounds so tasty!! We grill out 80% of the time and we do have a grill bowl for veggies. And this whole family is nuts about Buffalo wings so I’m sure this will be a huge success!! Have a great weekend.
