Description

Crispy and flavorful Buffalo Cauliflower Wings offer a delicious vegetarian alternative to traditional chicken wings. These baked cauliflower florets are coated in a seasoned batter, baked to a perfect crisp, and then tossed in a classic buttery Buffalo sauce for a spicy kick. Perfect as a game day snack or appetizer, they deliver all the bold Buffalo wing flavor without the meat.

Ingredients

Cauliflower Wings

  • 1 head of cauliflower, cut into florets
  • 3/4 cup flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground paprika
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk

Buffalo Sauce

  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1/3 cup Buffalo Sauce (Frank’s recommended)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside to prepare for baking.
  2. Prepare the batter: In a large bowl, mix the flour, ground paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, and salt. Add the buttermilk and stir until combined into a thick batter.
  3. Coat the cauliflower: Add the cauliflower florets to the batter, ensuring each piece is evenly coated. Place the coated florets spaced out on the prepared baking sheets to allow air circulation.
  4. Bake the wings: Bake for 20 minutes, then flip each cauliflower piece to the other side to ensure even cooking. Continue baking for another 20 minutes until crispy and golden.
  5. Make the buffalo sauce: While the cauliflower bakes, whisk together the melted butter and Buffalo sauce until well combined.
  6. Toss and serve: Once the cauliflower is baked, toss the hot florets in the prepared Buffalo sauce until fully coated. Serve immediately and enjoy your Buffalo Cauliflower Wings!

Notes

  • You can use gluten-free flour to make this recipe gluten-free.
  • Adjust the amount of Buffalo sauce to control the heat level.
  • For extra crispiness, broil the cauliflower for 1-2 minutes after tossing in the sauce, watching carefully to avoid burning.
  • Buttermilk can be substituted with dairy or non-dairy milk mixed with a teaspoon of vinegar or lemon juice.
  • Serve with ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping.
