Instructions
For the Cauliflower Bites
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a wire baking rack on top of a cookie sheet. (If you don’t have a baking rack, line a baking sheet with parchment paper.)
In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs and hot sauce.
In another small bowl, mix together the bread crumbs, parsley and a pinch of salt and pepper.
With each piece of cauliflower, cover it first in egg and then in the bread crumbs. Use one hand as a wet hand for the egg and one hand as a dry hand for the bread crumbs.
Place the breaded cauliflower on the baking rack covered cookie sheet.
Bake for 15 minutes, flip, and then bake another 10-15 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
Optional: If using the buffalo sauce, once the caulilflower is done cooking toss together in a bowl with the buffalo sauce. Bake again for about 5 minutes.
Serve with the herby yogurt dip, if desired.
