I could not stop eating these Cheesy Buffalo Cauliflower Wings, they are crispy, filled with flavour and spicy!

A batch of cauliflower wings on a white plate.

This was the killer for me. I could not stop eating these Cheesy Buffalo Cauliflower Wings, and I honestly could not tell the difference between this and chicken.

I literally repeated over and over “OMG this tastes like chicken.” Even my vegetable-hating little brother ate these up saying how much they tasted like chicken.

Mr. Jessiker Bakes had his fair share, commenting on how delicious these were.

Compliments of the highest form 🙂 .

You see, my intention was not to mask the cauliflower, and in no way is it. It just shows how versatile and delicious this magical creamy vegetable is that once cooked whether in soup form or whole like this, you can’t help but marvel in the deliciousness. This Cheesy Buffalo Cauliflower Wings will transform anyone into a cauliflower lover. It absorbs the flavours incorporated into it so well.

I have to say, I will be making these again. I kind of just poured my cauliflower heart out to you, which wasn’t really my intention, but I need you to try these. If you are looking for a Super Bowl treat, these are it. And I have to thank Eaton’s for their amazing crushed peppers sauce which adds a delicious kick to these. I must be hanging out with Mr. Jessiker Bakes way too much since I added closer to ½ cup of hot sauce than the ¼ cup. Also, if you’re looking for something for even more buffalo-ness, These Cauliflower Buffalo Wings take your traditional buffalo wing sauce and totally knock it out of the park.

Speaking of Super Bowl, what are your plans? Are you into football or the festivities and the food? I don’t watch American Football except for on Super Bowl Sunday (confession) but I love the festivities and the food! I understand the game (or so I tell myself) so I can pay attention, but I’m really here for the commercials.

Fortunately Mr. Jessiker Bakes does watch it so I can just continue to repeat whatever he says about it 🙂 .

Ingredients

  • 1 head of cauliflower, may have to double ingredients below for a large head
  • 1 cup flour, whole wheat flour works fine, so does white flour
  • 1 cup non-dairy milk,  unsweetened or original flavour
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • ¼ to ½ cup hot sauce, Frank's is a good all around option and not too spicy
  • ½ cup vegan shredded cheese, cheddar or mozzarella
  • 2 cup panko bread crumbs, seasoned with an extra ½ teaspoon sea salt, ½ teaspoon ground black pepper and ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

Instructions 

  • Preheat oven to 450°F/230°C. Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with a silicone baking sheet or greased foil.
  • Using a knife, remove florets from the cauliflower (aka cut off the leaves and don’t use the stems). Chop the cauliflower into smaller pieces to resemble the size of the wings and place in a bowl.
  • In a separate bowl, mix the flour, milk, salt, ground black pepper, garlic powder, crushed red pepper flakes, hot sauce and cheese together. Line it up beside the batter bowl.
  • Toss the cauliflower in the batter mixture (you can add them all at once), using a spatula or spoon to coat them all.
  • Transfer them to the breadcrumbs (you can do this in two or three batches) to coat completely, then place onto the baking sheet, giving each wing enough space. Repeat until all of the wings are coated. If you'd like you can use a cooking spray oil to spray the "wings" before baking to help deepen their colour.
  • Bake for 22 minutes. Please ensure your oven is completely preheated and hot. While baking, prepare the ingredients for the sauce by whisking together.
  • Remove from oven and serve immediately. Serve with a dipping sauce such as vegan ranch.
