My boldly flavored Nashville Hot Honey Cauliflower is easier to make than the classic deep fried chicken version, and healthier too! But don’t be fooled, it will completely satisfy your craving for a spicy, crunchy appetizer while sneaking in a vegetable. Tossed in a marinade of buttermilk, hot sauce, and a little flour (to thicken it), then coated in seasoned breadcrumbs (store-bought or homemade breadcrumbs both work well) and roasted at a high temperature, the cauliflower florets are tender on the inside, but golden brown and crispy on the outside….
