If you’re looking for a tasty and healthy side dish or maybe even an appetizer, my Baked Breaded Cauliflower Bites with Sriracha Peanut Butter Sauce is wheat and gluten-free, as well as low in calories in fat. All these healthier perks are thanks to Blue Diamond Nut-Thins who sponsored this post!

Baked Breaded Cauliflower Bites

Baked Breaded Cauliflower Bites are crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. The Blue Diamond Nut-Thins have a nutty taste and adds a nice earthy flavor. I like contrast in my food so I made a creamy peanut butter sauce in which to dip the bites. There is lots of flavor in this combo to fill up, but not out!

For the dipping sauce I used creamy peanut butter. It has a naturally slightly sweet taste. I added a little Sriracha sauce to add punch and another depth of flavor. Peanut butter is also a good source of protein, so this snack will stick with you.

Blue Diamond Nut-Thins are wheat and gluten-free. These crackers are delicious. They’re a great alternative for any breaded food instead of flour or panko if you want to stay gluten or wheat free.

Of course, you can enjoy Blue Diamond Nut-Thins with dips, hummus, cheese or simply snack on them alone.

Baked Breaded Cauliflower Bites Tips

  1. Cut the cauliflower in even sizes, this will ensure every piece cooks evenly.
  2. The breading will adhere better if the cauliflower is dry.
  3. Instead of crushed Blue Diamond Nut-Thins, you can use any crushed cracker, regular bread crumbs or panko bread crumbs as the coating. *However, it may no longer be gluten-free.
  4. Test the cauliflower for doneness by inserting a fork into one floret. If it pierces easily, they are cooked. If it’s firm, allow to roast 5 more minutes and test again.
  5. The Sriracha is optional, it’s a good sauce without the Sriracha. Add none, a little or a lot depending on how you like it.

How to choose a good head of cauliflower

  1. Cauliflower should be firm and tightly closed
  2. White cauliflower should be pale with no soft or mushy parts and no dark spots
  3. A head of cauliflower will feel heavy for it’s size
  4. Ideally, the cauliflower heads will have a few green leaves attached
  5. Overall, the cauliflower head should look fresh and vibrant

    I love breaded cauliflower. Those crackers look like the perfect crunchy exterior! And I love that you made a peanut butter sauce instead of creamy based ranch-style sauce. Yum!

    This is such a great idea! I love Blue Diamond Almonds as a crunchy crust on casseroles and chicken — I bet the nut thins are amazing for breading! Or just eating. I love a good snack.
