If you are looking for a different, yummy and spicy snack to serve at family get-togethers or brunch time, you throw for your friend; you’re at the right place. Cauliflower might not be your family’s favorite veggie, but these cauliflower bites are sure to become a favorite and most demanded too! The wonderful part about these bites is that they are baked and not fried which will later save you a guilt trip. Tossed in buffalo sauce, these make for a spicy and crispy starter. You can find buffalo sauce anywhere in grocery stores, or you can prepare it in your kitchen.
Health Benefits
Cauliflower is pretty low on calories, and rich in nutrients like fiber, Vitamin C, Vitamin K, Vitamin B6, Folate and Potassium and manganese as well! Cauliflower also contains anti-oxidants which are great at protecting the body from inflammation and free radicals which are responsible for certain kinds of cancers.
Honey possesses several antioxidants, including phenolic compounds like flavonoids. Honey improves heart disease risk factors in people with diabetes as it can raise blood sugar levels — so people with diabetes must watch out for the quantity.
