Ingredients:

For the Cauliflower Bites:

• 1 large cauliflower head, cut into florets
• 1 cup almond flour (or any low-carb flour of your choice)
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
• Salt and black pepper to taste

For the Buffalo Sauce:

Instructions:

Prepare Cauliflower Bites:

1. Preheat Oven:
   • Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

5. Bake:
   • Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the cauliflower is golden and crisp, turning them halfway through to ensure even cooking.

Make Buffalo Sauce:

6. Mix Buffalo Sauce:
   • While the cauliflower is baking, prepare the Buffalo sauce. In a bowl, mix hot sauce, melted butter, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, and onion powder. Adjust the heat level by adding more or less hot sauce.
