Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Cauliflower florets
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
- 0.5 cup Water
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup Buffalo sauce
- 2 tablespoons Vegan butter, melted
- 4 pieces Burger or sandwich buns
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 8 pieces Tomato slices
- 0.5 cup Vegan ranch dressing
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, almond milk, water, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper until a smooth batter is formed.
Place the panko breadcrumbs in a separate bowl.
Dip each cauliflower floret into the batter, allowing any excess to drip off, and then coat it in the panko breadcrumbs. Place the coated florets on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the cauliflower for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
In a small saucepan, heat the buffalo sauce and melted vegan butter over low heat, stirring to combine.
Once the cauliflower is done baking, toss the florets with the warm buffalo sauce until fully coated.
To assemble the sandwiches, toast the buns if desired. Then layer each bun with a lettuce leaf, two tomato slices, buffalo cauliflower, and a drizzle of vegan ranch dressing.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Buffalo Cauliflower Sandwich!
