Ingredients
Scale
- 1 head of cauliflower, chopped (about 4–5 cups of florets)
- ½ cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour*)
- ¼ cup nutritional yeast
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons onion powder
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ cup unsweetened soy milk
- ½ cup water
Buffalo Glaze Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon vegan butter, melted
- ½ cup of Franks Buffalo Wing Sauce
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450 Fahrenheit (230 C), and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a reusable baking sheet.
- To a large bowl, whisk together soy milk, water, all-purpose flour, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. (Add 1-2 tbsps of flour if it looks overly runny. It should be the consistency of pancake batter)
- Dip each cauliflower floret into the batter and evenly coat it. Tap the floret on the side of the bowl to remove the excess batter and place it on the baking sheet. Evenly spread out all the pieces.
- Bake for 30 minutes.
- To make the Buffalo glaze, mix melted vegan butter and Franks Buffalo Wing Sauce in a medium bowl.
- After baking for 30 minutes, coat the wings in Buffalo sauce with a basting brush and flip them over.
- Put them back in the oven for an additional 25 minutes.
- They’ll look crispy and slightly blackened. Let them cool for a couple of minutes before serving it alongside some vegan ranch dip.
