Buffalo Cauliflower Bites
Buffalo Cauliflower Bites are a delicious, vegetarian alternative to traditional buffalo wings, and using Member’s Mark™ seasonings takes this popular dish to the next level. These crispy, flavorful bites are made by coating fresh cauliflower florets in a seasoned batter, then roasting or air-frying them to golden perfection before tossing them in tangy buffalo sauce.
The seasoning blend plays a key role in developing bold, balanced flavor. Member’s Mark™ Granulated Garlic adds a robust, savory depth that complements the natural earthiness of the cauliflower. Member’s Mark™ Spanish Style Paprika brings a mild smokiness and vibrant red color, elevating the dish with a subtle heat and rich aroma. To round out the flavor, Member’s Mark™ Sea Salt enhances the natural ingredients while Member’s Mark™ Fine Ground Black Pepper provides a warm, zesty bite that lingers on the palate.
These buffalo bites are not only tasty but also versatile. They make a great appetizer, party snack, or even a main course when served alongside a fresh salad, like our Grilled Romaine Salad, or cooling ranch or blue cheese dip. The crisp exterior and tender inside create a satisfying texture contrast, and the spicy buffalo coating ensures each bite packs a punch.
Thanks to the quality of Member’s Mark™ spices, the seasoning profile is both simple and elevated—perfect for those seeking bold, clean flavors without relying on artificial additives. Whether baked or air-fried, the result is a crowd-pleasing dish that even meat lovers will enjoy.
Buffalo Cauliflower Bites made with Member’s Mark™ Granulated Garlic, Spanish Style Paprika, Sea Salt, and Fine Ground Black Pepper offer a flavorful, healthier twist on a game-day classic, delivering big flavor with every bite through the use of premium, pantry-staple seasonings.
