Ingredients
  

Cauliflower Mixture
  • 1 head cauliflower cut into florets
  • 3/4 cup flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground paprika
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk
Buffalo Sauce
  • 2 tablespoons butter melted
  • 1/3 cup Buffalo Sauce we used Frank's!

Equipment

  • Baking Sheets
  • Parchment Paper
  • Large Bowl

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the spices, salt, and the flour. Add the buttermilk and stir until combined. The mixture should be pretty thick!
  3. Add the cauliflower florets to the batter, coating each piece evenly in the buttermilk mixture. Place the coated cauliflower on the prepared baking pans, leaving room between each piece so the air can circulate around them.
  4. Bake for 20 minutes and then flip the cauliflower over to its other side to get an even bake. Bake for another 20 minutes on the other side!
  5. While the cauliflower bakes, make the buffalo sauce. Combine the buffalo sauce with the melted butter and whisk to combine.
  6. When the cauliflower is done, add the florets into the bowl the hot sauce mixture is in. Toss to combine and enjoy!

Notes

For a spicier kick, add more buffalo sauce or a pinch of cayenne pepper. These cauliflower wings are a great alternative for those looking to enjoy classic flavors in a vegetarian format.
