Serve up these Buffalo cauliflower bites with our delicious homemade keto ranch dip and they’ll be gone before you know it! We highly suggest doubling the batch!
Not sure what I did wrong, but sadly, most of my florets wilted and broke down into almost nothingness… tasty nothingness!
Oh darn! SO sorry to hear they wilted. For next time we suggest using larger pieces. Hoping that might help!
I made these last night & they turned out really good! We had them at a brewery last fall but hadn’t tried your recipe until now.
Yay! Thanks so much for letting us know how yummy they turned out! Happy you enjoyed them!
