Vegan and Gluten-free Buffalo Cauliflower Wings

Lunch & Dinner, Side Dishes

ahhh, it’s a no to chicken, there’s a new “wing” in town and it’s cruelty-free! Vegan and Gluten-Free Buffalo Cauliflower Wings are the appetizer (or meal) you didn’t know you needed. while i adore cauliflower, even if you don’t i bet you will still love this recipe.

making vegan food delicious and similar to traditional dishes people are used to eating is my main goal here. with this recipe, mission accomplished.

the cauliflower florets are FLIPPIN’ UNREAL and dipped into a healthy + gluten-free batter. then, they’re baked in the oven for 20 min.

you take them out, dip the “wings” in buffalo sauce, pop them back in the oven and boom, you’re done!

go ahead and make a refreshing sauce to go with these spicy gems if you want! for my “ranch,” i totally winged it and just combined vegan cream cheese with unsweetened plain almond milk, nutritional yeast, garlic, onion, sea salt and fresh dill.

maybe about 1/2 cup vegan cream cheese and 1/4 cup of almond milk? it’s hard to mess up i promise.

everything was easy to put together, it’s truly as hassle free as buffalo cauliflower wings can be. my version is gluten-free, but you can use another flour if you want- just sub at your own risk haha.

make sure the corn-starch and buffalo sauce you’re using are gluten-free! the ones i used said on the packaging. tessemae’s makes excellent buffalo sauce by the way but i didn’t have any on hand!

we also really like Moore’s, which we find at Publix and that’s what i used here. it’s a bit hot for me but really tasty and i cool the cauliflower wings down with ranch!

here’s what you’re going to need:

cauliflower florets (1 cauliflower head cut into florets)

all purpose gluten-free flour (used Trader Joe’s)

flax meal

cornstarch

onion powder

garlic powder

sea salt

nutritional yeast

unsweetened plain almond milk

buffalo sauce

the vegan “ranch” is listed above and like i said, just kind of winged it.
