Can I use frozen cauliflower florets?

Unfortunately, no. Frozen cauliflower will release all of its excess moisture when baking and make the batter too wet. For best results, only use fresh cauliflower florets when making cauliflower wings.

Can I make these buffalo cauliflower wings less spicy?

If you are sensitive to spice, substitute half of the buffalo sauce with our Date Sweetened BBQ Sauce . This will make them less spicy yet still rich and saucy. We’d also highly recommend serving with Vegan Ranch. Its creaminess will cut the heat, too!

Why are my cauliflower wings soggy?

If your buffalo cauliflower wings are soggy coming out of the oven, it is possible your oven was not hot enough. In order to get these baked cauliflower wings extra crispy, it is important to use high heat. If your oven tends to run on the cool side, turn up the heat to 450°F. Another possible reason is that you coated too generously in the buffalo sauce. A light coating is all you need!

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, salt, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Once well combined, pour in the non-dairy milk and whisk together until it forms a smooth batter.
Add the cauliflower florets and toss them together with a spatula. Once the florets are evenly coated, add them to your prepared baking sheet. Be sure to space them out evenly, so they crisp up in the oven.
Bake for 30 minutes, flipping after 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, combine the buffalo sauce, agave, and melted vegan butter in a large bowl.
Once the cauliflower has baked for 30 minutes, add them to the bowl and toss in the buffalo sauce. Alternatively, you can brush the sauce on the florets.
Add them back to the baking sheet and bake for another 15 minutes until crispy. Optionally, you can broil for the last few minutes, but be sure to keep an eye on them, so they don’t burn.
Serve with vegetable sticks and vegan ranch dressing or blue cheese, and enjoy!
