The Ingredients:
1 medium-sized head of cauliflower, cut into florets
1 cup of all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour for a gluten-free version)
1 cup of plant-based milk (such as almond or soy milk)
1 teaspoon of garlic powder
1 teaspoon of paprika
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
3/4 cup of buffalo sauce
Optional dipping sauces: ranch, blue cheese, spicy ranch, etc.
The Method:
Carefully cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, plant-based milk, and seasonings. Stir until you have a smooth, thick batter.
Dip each cauliflower floret into the batter, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Roll each floret in the breadcrumbs until evenly coated.
Spray your air fryer with non-stick oil and air fry on 350°F for 10 minutes.
Throw your crispy wings into a bowl and generously coat each wing with buffalo sauce by shaking and stirring a few times.
Return the coated cauliflower wings to the airfryer and air fry for an additional 5-7 minutes to allow the sauce to soak into the wings and create a sticky, flavorful coating.
While the wings are finishing up in the oven, prepare a platter and optional dipping sauce. Arrange the crispy Buffalo Cauliflower Wings on the platter, alongside celery sticks and carrot sticks for a classic wing experience. Serve with a side of vegan ranch dressing for a cool and creamy complement.
