Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head Cauliflower
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup Vegan butter
- 0.5 cup Hot sauce
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets, ensuring they are all roughly the same size.
In a large bowl, whisk together the almond milk, flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper to create a smooth batter.
In a separate bowl, place the panko breadcrumbs.
Dip each cauliflower floret into the batter, allowing any excess to drip off, then roll in the panko breadcrumbs until evenly coated.
Place the coated cauliflower evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the wings are golden and crispy.
While the cauliflower is baking, melt the vegan butter in a small saucepan over low heat, then stir in the hot sauce. Mix well and remove from heat.
Once the cauliflower wings are done baking, remove them from the oven and transfer to a large bowl.
Pour the buffalo sauce over the baked cauliflower wings and gently toss until each piece is well-coated.
Return the sauced wings to the baking sheet and bake for an additional 10 minutes to allow the sauce to set.
Serve the vegan boneless buffalo wings hot, with vegan ranch or blue cheese dressing on the side, if desired.
