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 am in love with this recipe! Totally perfect for Sunday night football :) I was starving and I eat quite a bit, but still couldn't even finish off 1/3 of this in one sitting. Absolutely delicious and fun to make.

I love this website, I've been vege all my life (so 11 years as i'm only 11) but at the beginning of this summer converted to vegan after my dad being vegan for 8 years. This looks amazing, every now and then my family let them cook for them, definitely gonna try this sometime!!!

I found this a while ago, it is a snack I cook regularly. It has helped me through my crippling addiction to hot wings. Mostly because it tastes cleaner and lighter in my opinion. My non vegetarian friends love it too! I win!
