Buffalo Cauliflower
Super Bowl is right around the corner which means it’s time for all the best snacks! This Buffalo Cauliflower will quickly become a crowd favorite. It’s made with simple ingredients and so delicious for easy snacking!
I’ve been making this Buffalo Cauliflower for years and it’s still one of my favorite snacks! It was one of my very first popular recipes on One Balanced Life! Since then, I’ve made a few changes to the recipe but nonetheless this one is still so delicious. Plus, it’s perfect for a gameday snack, easy appetizer or snacking. I also love to put it on salads or serve up on tostadas to switch it up.
I like to cook mine in the air fryer because I think it gets extra crispy but this can also be baked in the oven. If you need a reason to get an air fryer, let this be it!
This buffalo cauliflower is gluten free and dairy free too.

FAQs:
Yes! You can bake these at 425 degrees for 22-25 minutes (without sauce) and flipping half way through. Then add the buffalo sauce and place back in the oven for 6-8 minutes. Broil for 1 minute to finish with a crisp!
I have only made this using almond flour so I recommend keeping it!
I love to use this buffalo sauce!

Shoot, all I have right now is coconut flour, I wonder if that would work as a sub for the almond flour? Kinda new to whole 30 cooking 😅
I haven’t tried coconut flour! Let me know if you try it and it works 🙂
Made this recipe for a second time, my teen daughter & I love this.
I just finished making this recipe. I used coconut flour instead of almond. It turned out really nice! It is quite spicy haha, but a good flavor overall. I will make this again!!!
Great to hear that it works well with coconut flour! It is a tad spicy!! haha I would recommend getting a mild buffalo sauce to use next time, I’ve found that’s less intense than using Franks!
