There’s nothing like settling into a plate of spicy, tangy wings while watching the big game. But let’s be honest — the sauce is usually better than the chicken!
In Dr. Gundry’s version, you can still enjoy the addictive flavor and crunch of your favorite game day treat — without the halftime stomach-ache.
How?
Just replace the chicken with…
Cauliflower
Researchers believe cauliflower has therapeutic abilities. You see, there are enzymes in cauliflower that give rise to the production of genes that help control the vegetable’s antioxidant response element (ARE). This grows its antioxidant power, which can help the cells in your body better withstand oxidative stress.1
Furthermore, cauliflower could be related to the reduction of the risk of chronic diseases, heart health issues, and serious illness. For starters, cauliflower is nutritive, providing several health-promoting phytochemicals, like —
- Vitamins
- Carotenoids
- Fiber
- Minerals
- Polyphenols2
And like broccoli and cabbage, cauliflower belongs to the cruciferous family of vegetables. These veggies contain vitamin A, thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, vitamin C, calcium, iron, phosphorus, and good fat to help fight illness.3
So, now you know these treats aren’t just tasty, they’re also incredibly good for you. You can munch throughout the game without guilt — they taste sweet and tangy, but they’re healthy, too.

What You’ll Need —
For the Buffalo Sauce
- 1⁄2 cup Frank’s Red Hot Sauce
- 2 1⁄2 teaspoons avocado oil or ghee
- 1 tablespoon coconut aminos
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
For the Bites
- 1 medium head of cauliflower, chopped
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for baking sheet

What To Do —
1. Preheat the oven to 450°F.

3. Drizzle a baking sheet liberally with olive oil, or line with parchment. Set aside.
4. Toss the cauliflower, olive oil, cassava flour, and spices together in a large bowl until cauliflower is evenly coated.
5. Transfer to a baking sheet, and bake for 30 minutes, turning every 10 minutes so the cauliflower crisps on all sides.
6. Brush with the buffalo sauce, then bake an additional 10 minutes.
7. Serve with yogurt and extra buffalo sauce for dipping.
When all is said and done …
You’ll have a crunchy game-time snack that will have your family asking you to host game night, every night!
