Description

Crispy and tangy buffalo cauliflower wings, a delicious plant-based alternative to traditional wings. Perfectly baked to golden perfection, coated in a rich buffalo sauce and served with creamy ranch dressing and fresh celery sticks for a satisfying snack or appetizer.

Ingredients

Cauliflower Wings

  • 1 large head cauliflower, cut into bite-sized florets
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Sauce and Accompaniments

  • 3/4 cup buffalo sauce
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 cup celery sticks
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing

Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Equipment: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, water, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and salt until you have a smooth, lump-free batter that will coat the cauliflower evenly.
  3. Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Arrange the parchment-lined baking sheet on a flat surface, ready for placing the coated cauliflower florets.
  4. Assemble the Dish: Dip each cauliflower floret into the batter, allowing any excess to drip off, then place them in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
  5. Cook to Perfection: Bake the coated cauliflower in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. After this time, flip each floret carefully to promote even browning and bake for an additional 15 minutes until they are golden and crisp.
  6. Finishing Touches: In a small bowl, mix the buffalo sauce with the melted butter to create a rich, tangy coating. Toss the baked cauliflower gently in this sauce until all pieces are evenly coated.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Place the sauce-coated florets back on the baking sheet and bake for another 5 minutes to let the sauce set. Serve hot alongside fresh celery sticks and creamy ranch dressing for dipping.

Notes

  • Cut the cauliflower florets evenly to ensure they cook at the same rate.
  • Use parchment paper on the baking sheet to prevent sticking and enable easy cleanup.
  • Toss the cauliflower gently in the buffalo sauce to keep the coating intact and crispy.
  • Serve the wings immediately after baking for the best crispiness and flavor.
