Instructions

PREPARE CAULIFLOWER

Break or cut cauliflower into bite-size pieces. Prepare to wash thoroughly with Earth's Natural Fruit & Vegetable Wash to clean 95% or more of the chemicals and toxins off your produce. Click the link to see more details and also the information is listed below.
Once the cauliflower is clean, set aside until the sauce is done cooking. You have 2 choices to either bake or steam the cauliflower. Options are listed below.

PREPARE SAUCE

Combine all the sauce ingredients into a saucepan on medium-high heat until completely melted together stirring frequently (about 5-7 minutes). Farr Better Tip: When adding the dry ingredients, I usually whisk the sauce to avoid clumps.

BAKE THE CAULIFLOWER

Once the sauce is done cooking, turn off the heat and add the cauliflower to the sauce in the pan. Stir cauliflower so it's completely covered by sauce. I found tongs work well.
Layer baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Transfer the cauliflower mixture onto the baking sheet.
Bake 425⁰ for 20-25 minutes or until buffalo sauce is baked into the cauliflower and pieces are tender to your liking. You can test the cauliflower texture by poking a fork into them. Pour remaining sauce onto the plated cauliflower. Don't waste it.
You can also use an Air Fryer or the Copper Crisper to cook the FBR Cauliflower Buffalo Bites instead of the oven. You pick your favorite way to cook these.

STEAM THE CAULIFLOWER

Steam the cauliflower with an Instant Pot® if you have one. It's quick and easy. Otherwise, steam it with your preferred method.
The Instant Pot® can be set on 2 minutes steam/ no warm/ release.
Add the steamed cauliflower to the cooked sauce. Gently stir, with tongs, coating sauce on the cauliflower. You can eat it like this if you prefer. Otherwise, you can bake it. Put on the baking sheet and cook for an additional 5-10 minutes on 400 degrees.

SERVING ENHANCEMENTS

Serve with celery sticks, bok choy, and carrots accompanied by your favorite FBR Dressing. Many dressings to choose from on the FBR website.
