If you can make something baked over fried, you better believe we're going to try it

Buffalo cauliflower has become very popular lately … Well, really anything with cauliflower has become popular lately (speaking of, who has a great recipe for homemade cauliflower pizza crust?). So when Women of Today reader Kelly Dodson sent us her recipe for Baked Buffalo Cauliflower, we had to try it! It’s gluten-free and baked, not fried! It checks ALL the boxes for an amazing appetizer.

This recipe is very easy to make, and it is addictive! Once you start snacking, we promise you won’t be able to stop.

We do have a couple tips we picked up for you when you make this dish:

First, cut your cauliflower into large pieces, approximately 1 inch to 1.5 inches in diameter (the pieces will shrink when cooked). Second, make sure you remove any excess almond flour pieces before placing the cauliflower on a baking tray (they will burn if left on the pan!).
