Spicy Buffalo Cauliflower 'Wings'

The following article was written by Ashley Palmer.

Looking for a healthier (and kinder) alternative to chicken wings? Try these juicy, tangy, and spicy buffalo cauliflower "wings"!

Deliciously versatile and with just enough "kick," these bite-sized pieces of cauliflower offer an eerily similar experience to eating chicken wings. With all the flavor and none of the guilt, this is a secret-weapon recipe that every vegan cook should have in his or her kitchen. Enjoy!

Spicy Buffalo Cauliflower 'Wings'
1 cup water or soy milk
1 cup flour (any kind will work—even gluten-free!)
2 tsp. garlic powder
1 head of cauliflower, chopped into pieces
1 cup buffalo or hot sauce
1 Tbsp. olive oil or melted vegan margarine

Preheat the oven to 450°F.
Combine the water or soy milk, flour, and garlic powder in a bowl and stir until well combined.
Coat the cauliflower pieces with the flour mixture and place in a shallow baking dish. Bake for 18 minutes.
While the cauliflower is baking, combine your buffalo sauce and olive oil or margarine in a small bowl.
Pour the hot sauce mixture over the baked cauliflower and continue baking for an additional 5 to 8 minutes.
Serve alongside vegan blue cheese dressing and celery sticks.

I have been looking for the perfect vegan/vegetarian wing recipe and, quite frankly this is not it. Although I prefer it to recipes using seitan, this one needs some MAJOR adjustments. First, grease the baking dish. Otherwise you will have a sticky mess, and you'll end up with more batter on your pan than on your "wings". Second, the ratio of hot sauce to oil is way, way way off. I love hot, and I love wing sauce, but this is like taking a shot of straight hot sauce...heartburn city. I would definitely decrease the amount of hot sauce and increase the amount of oil to taste. Finally, and this is an obvious one, be sure to cut each piece uniformly so the cauliflower cooks evenly. I suggest small enough to get a good coating but big enough that it doesn't fall apart on you, maybe 2 bites or 1-inch pieces.
