Servings: 8 serving
Calories: 178kcal
Ingredients
- 1 large cauliflower separated into florets
- 2 cups gluten free flour bob's red mill 1-to-1 for best texture or chickpea flour
- 1¾ cups water
- 1 tbsp garlic powder
Buffalo sauce
- 4 tbsp vegan butter room temperature
- 2 tbsp sriracha
- 1 tbsp soy sauce gluten free
Salt and vinegar sauce
- 1 cup white vinegar
- 1 tbsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 450 degrees. Then separate your cauliflower into small florets. I try and follow the stem so that the florets don’t fall apart. Then in a large bowl mix the ingredients for the batter (flour, water, garlic powder). Add the cauliflower into the batter bowl and mix with a large spoon (or your hands).
- Using your fingers rub each floret and shake of any excess batter. Place cut side down onto an lightly oiled baking pan. Then bake for 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile into 2 medium-sized bowls mix each sauce. Then using an oven mitt remove the cauliflower from the oven. Dip the florets into EITHER sauce. I usually do half and half. Then place them back onto the baking pan, shaking off any excess sauce.NOTE: if you find the salt (for the salt and vinegar sauce) just sinks to the bottom, then just sprinkle salt overtop the wings after you dip them into the vinegar.
- Bake them for another 5-8 minutes. They will be golden brown. You can also broil them for the last minute but keep a close eye if you choose to do this as they burn easily!You can serve the buffalo cauliflower with a cilantro- cashew sauce. The recipe for it is in this post for an easy Moroccan stew.
