Vegan Cauliflower Buffalo Wings (Frank’s Red Hot)

These Cauliflower Buffalo Wings are baked not fried, super crispy, vegan and gluten free. They’re the perfect spicy appetizer or snack for game day or any day! Made with Frank’s Red Hot Buffalo sauce!

I LOVE these wings, they are spicy and crispy on the outside with juicy tender cauliflower on the inside. It’s the perfect bite. So Good!

They definitely have a good spicy kick to them and that is where my vegan ranch comes in. The delicious & creamy cooling element. Seriously you need this dressing with these Cauliflower Wings! It’s a match made in heaven. Honestly I can’t stop eating these when I make them!

I use rice flour and almond milk to get the crispy coating for these hot wings. I find rice flour works better than regular flour. And I use Franks Red Hot Buffalo Wing Sauce for that delicious spicy heat.

You’ll love this recipe guys it’s easy and will please vegetarians and meat eaters alike!

Ok lets get to it!

HOW TO MAKE CAULIFLOWER BUFFALO WINGS:

First wash and core the cauliflower. Then you’ll need to pull apart some of the florets and chop some as well. You want bite size pieces. Roughly the size of a golf ball or a little smaller.

In a large bowl whisk the batter ingredients till smooth and add the cauliflower pieces and mix well, so all the pieces are completely coated in the batter.

Next place the pieces one by one on a large parchment lined baking sheet and bake at 425° for 25 minutes. No flipping necessary.

While they’re baking, mix up the hot sauce ingredients, setting aside 1/3 cup of sauce for dipping.

After 25 minutes remove from the oven and add the cauliflower to a large mixing bowl. Pour the hot sauce over the cauliflower and mix until all the pieces are coated

Return to the oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through. While they are crisping in the oven mix 1 tablespoon of maple syrup into the reserved hot sauce.

Serve with reserved Buffalo hot sauce and my Vegan Ranch Dressing!😊 For full recipe ingredients and instructions see recipe card below.
Left overs will keep in the fridge for 3-5 days.
To reheat bake at 450° for 15 minutes.
