½ cup Frank’s Red Hot sauce

Instructions:

- Bake for about 10 minutes or until the batter hardens, then flip with a spatula and bake for another 5 minutes.

- When the cauliflower is finished, take a plastic pastry brush and evenly brush each piece with the hot sauce mixture.
- Bake coated cauliflower for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until cauliflower is crispy, and sauce looks absorbed.
- Remove from oven. Let cauliflower bites set out for at least 20 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
