Jicama & Cauliflower Buffalo Bites

 

 

I am obsessed with my ‘Buffalo Cauliflower Steak‘ recipe. Because I could eat it every day I decided to try to make it even healthier without compromising taste.

How I’ve changed the recipe:

  • I used half the amount of hot sauce cause the first one is reallyyyy hot. You can leave it with the full amount though. All depends on your desired heat level.
  • I reduced the amount of flour used.
  • I replaced the sprouted spelt flour with coconut and garbanzo bean flour.
  • I adjusted the spices a bit.
  • I tried baking jicama in the buffalo batter!
  • I added a vegan yogurt sauce to dip it in. This also helps with the heat 🙂

I personally loveddd how this turned out. I ate the entire cauliflower by myself and didn’t have to have any guilt about it.

You can check out the original recipe here to see which you might prefer or if you want to try making something somewhere in the middle of these two recipes.

Now on to the new version!
