buffalo cauliflower wings

The buffalo cauliflower wings from Delish.com are always a crowd-pleaser. 

Buffalo Cauliflower Wings

cauliflower,

c. all-purpose flour

c. milk

garlic powder

kosher salt

black pepper

hot sauce (such as Franks)

tbsp. butter

Ranch dressing,

Celery sticks,

Do you buy buffalo sauce? Or make your own?

I put the dry ingredients in a gallon size ziploc bag, added the cauliflower and shook it up. Then added the milk. It coated very well. I sprayed the parchment paper with cooking spray.

They crisped well. After 10 min in the oven I rotated the cauliflower with tongs. They cooked for a total of 18 minutes.

The recipe rocks. So too does your website. I will be back. I very much appreciate your restraint in advertising and not bombarding your visitors with popups, sliders, and overlays like most of the cooking site publishers do. I'm glad I found you.

This was a great alternative to greasy chicken wings. I used almond milk and Chalupa sauce. Yummy!

I used oat milk to make it a vegan meal. My family love it.

These cauli wings are unreal! I was searching high and low for a good vegan/GF recipe and these were perfection! I used chickpea flour and unsweetened almond milk. The cook time was perfect too. I made them with the vegan buffalo sauce recipe linked in the recipe - also a must! I've tried so many recipes over the years for cauli wings and these are by far the tastiest/healthiest/easiest! :)

So I have seen/tried many cauliflower "wings" recipes that are super complicated and require a lot of time. This is by far the SIMPLEST recipe I have tried! 
Thanks for this!

...who knew you could eat a whole cauliflower head in one sitting. *guilty*

Buffalo wings have been a staple in bars across the U.S. and Canada, but what if there was a more health conscious option? Good news! You can get the same flavors using cauliflower instead of fried chicken wings, and a slew of health benefits, too.

Buffalo Cauliflower Recipe

butter

hot sauce sauce

apple cider vinegar

coconut aminos

cauliflower head, medium-size

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F and prepare a 9 x 13 baking sheet with parchment paper.

Place butter, hot sauce, apple cider vinegar, coconut aminos and garlic powder into a small saucepan over medium heat.

Once the butter is melted, then whisk up the mixture to fully combine.

Take a medium head of cauliflower and remove the stem. Chop these florets into smaller, bite-size pieces and put into a large mixing bowl.

Pour two-thirds of the sauce over the cauliflower and mix with a wooden spoon or hands. (The rest of the sauce will be used for dipping later.)

Pour the cauliflower out on your parchment paper-lined pan and spread the pieces evenly.

Bake for 40 minutes and remove from oven.

This Air fryer Buffalo Cauliflower Wings Recipe is super easy &amp; yummy to make. It is low carb and can be made any time with few ingredients.

Air Fryer Buffalo Cauliflower Wings Recipe

Water

Almond Flour (use more if needed)

Garlic powder

Paprika

tbsp Butter

Frank's Hot Sauce

First of all wash the cauliflower in a Kitchen Colander and dry completely. Now core the cauliflower. Remove the hard stem and leaves from the bottom. Further cut it into medium bite size florets. Set them aside in a bowl.

Preparing the Cauliflower

Take a Mixing Bowl and beat the egg with 2 tbsp water lightly. In another Mixing Bowl, mix Almond Flour, Garlic Powder, Paprika, salt &amp; pepper.

Now dip florets with Kitchen Tongs (one at a time) into egg mixture and then coat in the almond flour mix. Note - be careful while coating in almond flour since almond flour tends to clump fast. If you are using All Purpose flour then roll these in the APF mix. 

Now transfer these coated florets on a clean plate. And line the basket of Air fryer with the Air fryer Parchment Paper.

When ready to air fry, transfer these coated cauliflower florets in a single layer in the air fryer basket lined with parchment paper. Spray with oil on top. Air fry at 390*F for 12 minutes. Flip in between at about 7-8 minutes for even cooking.

Breading Cauliflower for Air-frying

Meanwhile the cauliflower florets are cooking, prepare the Buffalo sauce. Combine butter and Frank&#39;s Hot Sauce in a Frying Pan over the heat. Cook till butter melts. It’s ready to be dipped.

Making Buffalo Sauce in a frying-pan

Once the cauliflower wings are cooked, toss them in the hot sauce. And place back in the air fryer. Air fry for 2-3 minutes more for the sauce to cook on top of it. It adds to the texture of the wings.

Dipping the air-fried cauliflower bites in Buffalo Sauce &amp; Air frying again

Serve with ranch and some celery sticks &amp; cherry tomatoes on the side.

Serving Suggestion

Make sure not to over-crowd the air fryer basket. If you crowd it, the cauliflower bites will turn out soggy. This is why you want to cook the cauliflower in small batches with space in between for even air-flow. Every air fryer model is different. The time can vary by 1-2 minutes depending upon the model. 

Tips for Air Fryer Buffalo Cauliflower Wings

Yes you can. Bake these in the oven at 450*F for 15-20 minutes. Flip in between for even cooking. Dip in Buffalo Sauce and broil for 1-2 minutes. Serve hot with ranch and celery sticks on the side.

Oven Baked Buffalo Cauliflower Wings

Get your snack on with these spicy buffalo cauliflower wings - coated, breaded, baked, and dipped in homemade buffalo sauce. Served with homemade vegan ranch dressing for an incredible plant-based snack.

chickpea flour

water

cumin

ground pepper

white vinegar

Worcestershire sauce

Preheat oven to 450 F. Pour 2-3 tablespoons of avocado oil into a heavy bottom baking dish or large cast-iron skillet and place it in the oven while it preheats.​

In a shallow mixing bowl, combine chickpea flour and water, whisking together until thick and gooey. This will act as your binder between the cauliflower and flour mixture. In a large ziplock bag mix together flour, spices, salt, and pepper. 

Dip each floret into the chickpea flour mixture until completely submerged.  Once coated, place 4-5 florets at a time in the flour mixture. Seal the ziplock bag and shake until florets are completely coated. Place the battered cauliflower in the baking dish and repeat until all the cauliflower is covered.

Bake for 10 minutes. Pull out of the oven, flip cauliflower over and return to the oven for an additional 10 minutes. 

While cauliflower is baking, make your sauce. Place all the ingredients in a small saucepan and cook over medium-low heat until the butter has melted. Remove from heat and set aside to let cool. 

Once cauliflower is ready, remove from the oven. Coat cauliflower with Buffalo Sauce completely and return to the oven for an additional 10 minutes until cauliflower is crispy on the outside.

Remove from oven and let cool 10 minutes before serving with homemade ranch dressing, carrots, and celery. 

The best Buffalo Cauliflower Wings recipe. Baked crunchy and tender cauliflower, tossed in buffalo sauce and served with a cooling ranch dip.

Vegan Buffalo Cauliflower Wings

organic unbleached flour or whole wheat flour

tsp cumin

tsp black pepper

almond mik

Frank’s Red Hot Sauce

Preheat your oven to 425˚F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Chop the cauliflower into bite-size florets or use two 12-ounce bags of pre-cut cauliflower florets.

Add the flour and spice to a large bowl and whisk together. Pour in the unsweetened almond milk and water and whisk until it creates a smooth batter with no lumps.

Place the florets into the batter in batches and lightly toss until they&#8217;re covered with the batter. Remove the florets one at a time, shake off any excess batter, and lay them on the baking sheet. Bake in the oven for 20 minutes until they are golden brown.

Remove the cauliflower from the oven, place them in a clean large bowl, and cover them with the hot sauce. Stir or toss the cauliflower wings until they are evenly covered in sauce. Place the cauliflower wings back onto the baking sheet and bake for another 20-25 minutes until they are crispy. I like my buffalo wings to have a little char on them so I tend to cook them a little longer.

Once they are done remove them from the oven, place them on a serving dish, and enjoy them like regular buffalo chicken wings alongside celery sticks and carrot sticks.

Hi, Sherry! Honestly, it all depends on your taste and your preference of sauce. You do not have to use this specific sauce. Find one you like and use that one.

Loved it! Made a half size batch and inhaled it, I want more! I'll be putting this on regular rotation.

Liked them, but didn't love them. Will try using more hot sauce and cook for longer next time. It has literally been a decade since I've eaten cauliflower because I'm not a huge fan of it, so thanks for inspiring me to give it another chance.

Really enjoyed these! Made your ranch dressing but subbed white beans for the cashews (trying to cut out all fat) and it was still tasty. Thanks!

Made these today and they turned out delicious! Perfect kick of heat. Thank you!

Delicious and easy to make! I've made these often during the shelter in place since I've developed quite a snacking habit! Thanks for the recipe!

Delicious ! My favorite cauliflower wing recipe and I’ve tried a few. Great seasoning in the batter!  I did half Frank’s  and half sweet chili sauce!

I was skeptical, trying this out for the first time, but I was so pleasantly surprised at how great they came out. I honestly dislike Frank's Red Hot, but I kept eating them until I couldn't because the "wings themselves were perfect! My carnivorous hubby and son loved them even more than I did! Next time, I plan to use a different sauce, or just eat as is and use a dip on the side. Thanks!

I meant to make them for big game yesterday but ran out of time so I just made them today. They are very good but I'm with you. The coating is perfection so next time I would make them with the hot sauce for dipping.

Hi Shane.  Made this for last night's super bowl and they were excellent.   Even my 14yo anti-veggie kid said he would eat them again.   They tasted great, had a nice texture and I even went  for the extra bit of char (we think alike).  However, I would not say mine were significantly crispy so I don't know if I should be expecting that or not.  I used chickpea flour so maybe that was a factor?.  Thoughts?   Also, the vegan ranch dressing was awesome!

I know it is good because it is from you, my question is has anyone tried making it with your BBQ sauce, I know just try it, but I haven't made any yet sooooo.
just asking

LOVED this recipe and the Vegan Ranch Dressing.  We've tried many "Wing" recipes and found them lacking.  My husband suggested using beer instead of the plant milk/water in the recipe.   Might have to try that because your 5 ingredient bread recipe has become a staple in our house.
THANK YOU SHANE!

Just a heads up for those wanting to make these GF.....all flour is not created equal. I used coconut flour because it's what I had.  Coconut flour does not work!! I'll definitely try again with Chickpea or Bobs Red Mill flour that you suggested.

My family LOVED these!!! I cannot believe we are just now trying them.  This recipe is a keeper!!

Not enough positive adjectives to describe how delicious this buffalo cauliflower is.

I made these a few times and tonight I made them turned out Amazing! I don’t  add the hot sauce cause I’m a whimp when it comes to hot anything lol so I just baked them a little longer then dip them in BBQ sauce and or your ranch dressing recipe which I use weekly 
Thank you for all your amazing recipes I couldn’t eat this way without you!!!

Thanks for yet another terrific, oil-free recipe, Shane!  

A number of your other fan mentioned wanting a GF flour option:  I can tell you chickpea flower works great.

Sambal oelek is a good substitute for Frank's as well.

Keep on cooking,
Best,
Rose_Anne

These sound perfect, how can I lower the salt in the recipe, I need a low sodium or salt-free.
