So we’re coming up on one of my favorite holidays, or what I consider a holiday at least. You guessed it, The Superbowl!! So over the next week I’m bringing you some special Game Day recipes starting with The World’s Best Cauliflower Buffalo Wings!
Whether you’re a person who lives for this day (like me) or if you’re being forced to watch and football makes you miserable or if you’re going to spend the whole day in stressed out dread that tom Brady is going to win another f-ing ring (also like me), this recipe is the perfect thing for you. Binge eating these will literally erase all your troubles (or enhance your excitement).
This is an extra special recipe because it involves sloppy sauce. Sloppy wings are a special recipe from Andrew! At the pizza restaurant he worked at in high school, they combined buffalo sauce with blue cheese dressing and called them Sloppy Wings, so obviously that’s the most genius idea of all time and I HAD to copy it! Can confirm it is as delicious as it sounds.
As for the buffalo sauce, Andrew also gave me the hot tip on the proper ratio for mild, medium and sauce. It’s 1:2 hot sauce to butter for mild, 1:1 for medium and 2:1 for hot, and it works like a charm every time. I do hot but it’s literally your party baby.
Do your vegetarian friends a favor this Super Bowl and include them in the Wing portion of the party, they’ll be eternally grateful.
Also if you’re cheering for the Bucs you’re not allowed to us my recipe (just kidding, but not really). Only one thing left to say … RUN IT BACK! Go Chiefs!
Lots of Love,
Jackie and Andrew

Description
These battered cauliflower buffalo wings are the perfect appetizer to treat yourself to this Super Bowl Sunday. Share with friends or just eat all to yourself.
Ingredients
Battered Cauliflower
2 heads cauliflower, cut into florets
2 cups all purpose flour
2 cups non-dairy milk, more if it needs thinning (can be subbed for water if necessary)
2 tbs onion powder
1 tsp garlic powder
1 1/2 tsp garlic salt
2 tbs Frank’s Red Hot
Medium Buffalo Sauce
1 stick butter or 8 tbs vegan butter
8 tbs Frank’s Red Hot
1 tsp garlic salt
1 tbs garlic powder
Make them Sloppy
Take a 1/2 cup of the medium buffalo sauce and add a 1/2 cup of blue cheese dressing
Try them with our Homemade Honey Barbecue Sauce
Serve with our Chunky Blue Cheese
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper. Combine all of the batter ingredients into a large mixing bowl and whisk until fully combined and forms a thick batter. If it’s too thick to stir add a little more almond milk.
- Take the cauliflower florets and dip them, one at a time into the batter, tap them on the side to shake off the excess batter and place them on the lined baking sheet. Repeat until all the florets are battered and place in the preheated oven.
- Bake for 20 minutes or until the batter begins to crisp. If you’re making buffalo or sloppy wings, remove them from the oven and brush with the buffalo sauce. If you’re making barbecue wings, brush them with the barbecue sauce. Place them back into the oven and bake for 5 more minutes.
- Remove from the oven and toss in whatever sauce you’re choosing, or make all three and toss 1/3 in each sauce. To make them sloppy toss them in half blue cheese and half buffalo sauce. Serve with ranch or blue cheese dressing, celery and carrot sticks.
Notes
Make it Vegan: Use vegan butter for buffalo sauce and nix the blue cheese for vegan ranch
