Mighty Tip

Adding more vegetables in your diet doesn’t have to be boring — try out these cauliflower wings and see for yourself!

These buffalo cauliflower wings are something else!! So worth the wait of this recipe — I hope you are as addicted to these as I am after you try them! Half of this recipe pictured has the optional extra crunch (mentioned below in the recipe) while the other half is “regular”. I am definitely biased but I believe these are the BEST buffalo cauliflower wings. These cauliflower wings are perfect dipped in ranch, on tacos, or even on salad. TEAM EAT MORE VEGGIES! Enjoy!

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 head of cauliflower, rinsed and cut into pieces OR a pre-cut bag of cauliflower

  • 2/3 cup flour

  • 2 tsp garlic powder

  • 1 tsp onion powder

  • 1 tsp paprika

  • 1/4 tsp pepper

  • 2/3 cup + a splash of milk of choice (I used almond milk)

  • Tortilla chips, optional (can substitute Doritos, Cheez-its, bread crumbs, etc.)

  • 1/4-1/2 cup Frank’s buffalo sauce (or sub your favorite!)

DIRECTIONS

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

  2. Cut the cauliflower into bite-sized pieces.

  3. Combine flour and spices in a bowl.

  4. Add the milk and stir until combined. The mixture should still be pretty thick, NOT very runny.

  5. Dump the cauliflower pieces into the batter and coat the pieces evenly.

  6. OPTIONAL: For extra crunch, crush up the tortilla chips in a bowl or on a plate and coat each piece.

  7. Spread pieces evenly on a greased baking sheet (to avoid using extra oil, you can use parchment paper).

  8. Bake at 400 for 20 minutes.

  9. Put the buffalo sauce into a bowl. Coat the pieces in the sauce and then spread evenly on the baking sheet again.

  10. Bake at 400 for 25 minutes.

  11. Done & done! ENJOY!!

The buffalo cauliflower wings on the left have the optional extra crunch and the wings on the right are considered regular!
