How to get Crispy Buffalo Cauliflower Wings

To get crispy cauliflower wings make sure to remove any excess batter from the cauliflower after dipping, otherwise, this can make the cauliflower soggy. If you want extra crispy wings after dipping the cauliflower in the batter, you can dip each piece of cauliflower into some panko breadcrumbs. This will make each cauliflower wing extra crispy after baking in the oven.

Can this recipe be made using an air fryer?

While you can make buffalo cauliflower in an air fryer, unfortunately, you can't use this exact recipe in an air fryer.

How to store leftover Vegan Buffalo Cauliflower

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Keep in mind that the cauliflower wings are best enjoyed fresh and won't be as crispy after sitting in the fridge.

How to reheat Buffalo Cauliflower WIngs

Cauliflower wings are best enjoyed fresh, but if you'd like to reheat any leftovers you can spread them evenly onto a baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees F for 5-10 minutes until warmed through. I don't recommend reheating Buffalo Cauliflower Wings in a microwave since it will make them really soft and soggy.

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F and line a baking pan with parchment paper.
Mix the flour, almond milk, salt, paprika and garlic powder together in a bowl until smooth.
Dip each piece of cauliflower into the batter, let any excess batter drip off then place the cauliflower bites on the baking pan.
Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown, flipping halway through.
While the wings are baking, mix the hot sauce, vegan butter and maple syrup together in a bowl.
When the wings are cooked, remove from the oven and brush with the buffalo sauce. Place the baking sheet back in the oven and bake for another 10-15 minutes at 425 degrees F.
Serve immediately with your favourite dipping sauce.

Notes

The batter should be thick enough to coat each piece of cauliflower, but not too thick where the excess batter doesn’t drip off. Depending on the type of flour and liquid you use you may need to adjust your batter to get the right texture.

Cook these wings at a high temperature. If your oven isn’t hot enough. they won’t crisp up and the batter will become soggy.

If serving these for an appetizer or dinner party, they are best served fresh out of the oven.

Feel free to skip the batter entirely to make this reicpe into plain buffalo cauliflower. Just toss your cauliflower florets with 1 tbsp olive oil and seasoning and bake at 425 degrees F for 20-25 minutes, then toss in the buffao sauce and serve.
