Buffalo Cauliflower Wings
Crispy cauliflower florets tossed in spicy buffalo sauce, a healthier, guilt-free alternative to traditional chicken wings.
Ingredients
For the Cauliflower Wings
- 1 head head of cauliflower
- 1 cup flour Can substitute with whole wheat flour
- 1 cup water or non-dairy milk
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt Optional
- 1 cup buffalo sauce

Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C) if you choose to bake.
- Slice the cauliflower into bite-sized florets.
- In a bowl, whisk together flour, water (or non-dairy milk), garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and salt until smooth.
- Dip each floret into the batter, coating it evenly.
Cooking
- If baking, lay the coated florets on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden and crisp.
- If frying, heat the oil in a pan and fry the florets until crispy.
- In a separate bowl, toss the cooked cauliflower wings in buffalo sauce until well coated.
Serving
- Plate the Buffalo Cauliflower Wings and serve with celery sticks and vegan ranch dressing.
Notes
Ensure an even, light coating of batter for a perfect crunch. If leftovers are present, store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
