The super bowl may have come and gone, but buffalo wings are here to stay. Who of us has not indulged in a half dozen spicy wings and ranch dipping sauce, served with the obligatory celery sticks to make us feel like we are getting are vegetables for the day?
While chicken wings and creamy dip are a popular football watching snack, I urge you to try this healthier version at your next party. Heck, make them now just for yourself and be surprised at how fast one head of cauliflower can disappear.
This recipe transforms the sometimes boring cauliflower into spicy nuggets of deliciousness. Baked, not fried, but still tossed with a little butter and hot sauce, when dipped in the creamy yogurt-dill sauce, they are truly addictive.
I bet you never thought cauliflower could taste this good!

These spicy little bites are delicious as an appetizer or snack. The yogurt dip helps to cut the heat but feel free to serve them with a dipping sauce of your choice. Traditional ranch or blue cheese dip would also be fantastic!
