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
