Buffalo Cauliflower Wings
Super Bowl Sunday; a day of binge eating and watching subpar commercials with a musical break at halftime (and hating yourself come Monday morning). Am I right, or am I right?
I’ve been meaning to take a stab at homemade buffalo cauliflower wings for quite some time, last weekend seemed like a no brainer! I haven’t eaten wings in over 15 (!!!) years, but every time a plate passes me at our local wing joint, my stomach yearns for the spicy treat!
Ingredients:
- 1 head cauliflower
- ¾ cup flour
- ¾ cup milk, or a milk alternative (I used almond milk)
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- ¼ cup buffalo sauce, or hot sauce
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil, or vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon honey (can substitute for a bee-free honey or agave to make it vegan!)
Preparation:
- Preheat oven to 450˚F.
- Break the head of cauliflower into florets, about 1½-inch wide.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and milk, and stir until well-combined.
- Add the cauliflower florets to the batter, making sure each piece is evenly coated.
- Transfer to a parchment lined baking sheet.
- Bake for 20 minutes, flipping halfway.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine the hot sauce, vegetable oil, and honey, and stir until evenly combined.
- Brush the hot sauce mixture on cauliflower and bake for an additional 20 minutes.
- Enjoy!
I was so happy with how this recipe turned out, the wings were full of flavor! Next time I would cook them a few minutes longer (or broil them for a few minutes) to crisp up the batter a bit more. I always get sucked into Tasty's videos online, I was pleasantly surprised with how this turned out and can't wait to try another!
ps - How cute is my game day sweater? Team Kale is totally my vibe.
