Easy Baked Cauliflower Bites
This is one of our favorite appetizers that we also like to make for a meal. Cauliflower tossed in a little olive oil and seasoning then baked in the oven. I make a homemade sriracha dip or you can use your favorite dip.
In a large bowl add the prepared cauliflower and toss well with the olive oil.
Sprinkle with salt, pepper and paprika then toss until coated evenly.
Spray a baking sheet with cooking oil then place the cauliflower in a single layer on it. Bake in a preheated 450º oven for 30 minutes or until your desired crispness.
While the cauliflower bakes stir the mayonnaise and sriracha sauce together.
Then serve!

So nice 🌺🌺
Thank you Satyam!
This must be super delicious! I love cauliflower 😋
We really love it Ribana, thank you.
Looks yummy Diane
Thank you Sheree!
Certainly appetising
Thank you for your kind words Derrick.
I’m going to try these, I had some at a restaurant and they were wonderful
They are fantastic Beth.
This is one vegetable I’m not a fan of and I have absolutely no idea why but the way you made this looks lovely and might give it a try. Will definitely try this as part of my weight loss meal plan
I never was crazy about it either until I tried this at my daughter’s. To me it doesn’t taste like cauliflower because of the seasonings and all the sriracha dip, so yummy! I never eat it except this way.
I hope you saved some for me Diane!
Not this time! 🤣 It was my husbands birthday and we went out to eat around 2:30. I made this for a 7:00 pm supper and the two of us ate it all! Next time Dorothy. Lol
☺️
Thank you
This looks so so good. Like healthier French fries! 😋 I do something similar to this but in the air fryer. I love your sriracha mayo dip. Will need to try that.
I use the air fryer when I am only making a little bit. This day was my husband’s birthday and we ate out at 2:30 so I made a big batch of these for our late supper. It would have taken forever to make a large batch in my air fryer. This is one time the taste was the same in either one.
Happy birthday to your husband!
Thank you I will tell him. He knows all about you, I talk about you all the time, in a good way!
😊😊😊
Well these are yummy looking for appetizers or a side dish!
Thank you Linda, they are so filling that we like to eat them for a meal.
Good idea – I would be all for that!
Even Terry loves this. He actually reminds me when we haven’t had them in a while. Lol
A subtle hint to make it again!
🤣
I love cauliflower. The recipe sounds delicious 😋. Hope you and your family are doing well.
Thank you Michael I hope the same for you and your family!
Well these look fun! Great idea.
Thank you!
Great and easy recipe! I love cauliflower, we eat a lot of it, cooked different ways. I’ll try this one
Enjoy we love it cooked this way best. Thank you Susan!
Ok this is crazy! I have a head of cauliflower lying around and I am popping downstairs to try this! Thanks 🙂
I can’t wait to see what you think!!!! Please let me know. I make them in the air fryer when I have a small head of cauliflower and the oven with a larger head. Even my grandson loves these!
It was pretty tasty, I really enjoyed the dipping sauce – nice combo 🙂
Great! Thanks for letting me know.
Election night special? 😂
You’re hilarious!
Loved this one, so easy and so delicious.
I agree Barb, it is our favorite way to eat cauliflower. Thank you!
How inventive and intriguing!
I make small amounts in my air fryer and larger amounts, like this, in the oven. They are delicious and the dip makes it even better! Thanks Betsy!
Wonderful! I might convince Berto that cauliflower can be tasty when I’m preparing it this way.
If my husband loves this I bet Berto will too. What really makes it is the sriracha dip! Thank you
Thank you so much!
