Spicy Cauliflower Bites

These Spicy Cauliflower Bites are full of flavor thanks to a few easy additions and especially the BOLD Blue Diamond Habanero BBQ Almonds used. Another healthy aspect are that these tasty treats are baked, not fried, and still have a great crunch that a lot of people crave for their snacks. Enjoy for game time or anytime!

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400℉ / 205℃ and line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
  • Wash, then cut cauliflower into bite-sized pieces, leaving a slight bit of stem attached.
  • Add almonds to a blender or food processor and pulse or blend on high until they are chopped fine, about the size of bread crumbs.
  • Transfer chopped almonds to a small or medium shallow bowl, then add the bread crumbs.
  • Mix bread crumbs and almonds together until well combined.
  • Then, in a separate bowl, add eggs and seasoning and slightly whisk.
  • Grab your cauliflower florets and start dipping each piece into the egg mixture, then roll each piece (one-by-one) in the almond/bread crumb mixture until evenly coated and then place on prepared sheet pan at least 1 inch apart.
  • When all pieces are coated, place in preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • While cauliflower is baking, you can put together the dipping sauce by simply mixing the habanero sauce and mayo together in a small bowl.
  • I like to put sauce in individual dipping cups for guests, (to keep the cauliflower nice and crunchy)or you can drizzle sauce over baked cauliflower, if desired. Serve immediately.
