Buffalo Cauliflower Bites

These spicy little buffalo bites have become a staple around our house these last few weeks. In fact, after trying them for the first time, we proceeded to make them FIVE times in ONE week! They are so easy, could be a whole meal or just a side (or snack). I serve them with a side of low-fat ranch for dippin'!  

Servings: 4
Serving Size: About 1 cup
Points Plus: 3pp
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Level of Difficulty: Easy

Ingredients
1 large head of cauliflower, chopped into florets
1/2 cup liquid egg substitute
1/2 cup flour
1 T garlic powder
1 T onion powder
2/3 cup Franks Red Hot Sauce
1 T light butter, melted
Cooking spray
**Optional - 8 T light Ranch dressing - this adds an additional PP

Directions 
Preheat your oven to 450 degrees. Spray a large baking dish with cooking spray. Mix together your egg substitute, flour, garlic powder and onion powder. Put cauliflower in a large dish and slowly pour eggy-floury mixture over the cauliflower, gently tossing it so that all of the cauliflower is covered with the mixture. Using a tongs, remove each place of cauliflower from the bowl and place it onto the prepared cookie sheet in a single layer. toss it in your oven and bake for about 20 minutes, until the cauliflower is browned and crunchy.

Mix together Franks Red Hot Sauce and melted butter in a large dish. Add the cauliflower to the Franks and toss until all of your veggies are coated with sauce. Pour them back on the cookie sheet in a single layer, pouring extra hot sauce over them. Bake for another 5-10 minutes, until crispier. Serve hot and with light ranch for dipping.

Tip 
When dealing with the Franks, use a metal or glass bowl. I used (and ruined) a the plastic bowl that I was using because the Franks stained the heck out of it!
