Buffalo Cauliflower Wings
Ingredients:
- 1 head cauliflower, chopped into florets
- 1.5 cups crushed gluten-free crackers (e.g., Simple Mills almond flour crackers)
Batter:
- 2/3 cup gluten-free flour (e.g., Bob’s Red Mill paleo mix: almond flour, tapioca, arrowroot, coconut flour)
- 2/3 cup plus 2 Tbsp. plain unsweetened plant milk (e.g., Milkadamia unsweetened)
- 1/4 cup water
- 1.5 tsp. garlic powder
- 1 tsp. onion powder
- 1 tsp. paprika
- 1/8 tsp. turmeric
- 1/4 tsp. sea salt
- Dash of black pepper
Buffalo Sauce:
- 1.5 cups of your favorite buffalo sauce (e.g., Primal Kitchen)
- 2 Tbsp. vegan butter (e.g., Nutiva Buttery Coconut Oil or Monty’s vegan butter)
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together gluten-free flour, plant milk, water, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, turmeric, sea salt, and black pepper until smooth.
- Place crushed gluten-free crackers in a separate shallow bowl.
- Dip each cauliflower floret into the batter using a fork, letting excess drip off, then coat evenly in the crushed crackers. Place on the parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing florets apart.
- Bake for 25 minutes.
- Mix melted vegan butter with buffalo sauce. Brush each baked floret thoroughly with the sauce. Alternatively, dip florets into the sauce carefully if no brush is available.
- Bake for an additional 15 minutes, then broil on high for 5 minutes.
- Brush with extra buffalo sauce if desired and serve immediately.
