Description
Made with hot sauce, olive oil, almond milk, and spices, these buffalo cauliflower “wings” offer a meatless alternative to traditional chicken wings.
Ingredients
125 milliliters hot sauce or buffalo sauce, such as Frank’s Red Hot (1/2 cup)
50 milliliters olive oil (1/4 cup)
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons onion powder
1 1/2 teaspoons paprika
1 1/2 teaspoons smoked paprika
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon chipotle chili flakes
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
700 grams cauliflower florets (1 large head cauliflower, stem and leaves removed)
170 milliliters plain unsweetened almond milk (3/4 cup)
95 grams flour (3/4 cup)
Blue cheese dressing or homemade yogurt dip, for serving
Instructions
Line a half-sheet rimmed baking tray with parchment. Preheat oven to 400° F / 205° C.
In a small bowl, whisk hot sauce, olive oil, and lemon juice. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk paprika, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, chili flakes, kosher salt, and ground black pepper.
Add flour and almond milk and whisk until well combined.
Add cauliflower florets to the flour mixture. With your hands, toss until florets are completely coated in the flour mixture, with no dry pieces remaining.
Arrange coated florets on prepared tray.
Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes. Toss with a flat spatula, then bake 10 minutes more.
With a pastry brush, brush florets with half of the sauce mixture. Return to the oven and bake for 10 minutes.
Toss florets with a spatula, brush with remaining sauce, and bake for 10 minutes more, or until cauliflower is fork-tender.
Serve immediately, accompanied by blue cheese dressing, homemade Greek yogurt dip, or other condiment of choice.
Store leftover buffalo cauliflower florets in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Eat cold, or gently rewarm in the oven at 350° F (176° C) for 10 minutes, or until warmed through.
