Description

Buffalo cauliflower offers a delightful vegetarian twist on a classic game-day favorite. Imagine tender cauliflower florets, each carefully cloaked in a savory spiced batter. Baked to golden perfection, the florets achieve a delightful crispness that gives way to a satisfyingly soft interior.

The magic truly happens when these perfectly textured bites are generously tossed in your preferred wing sauce. The vibrant heat of the sauce melds beautifully with the subtle earthiness of the cauliflower, creating a symphony of flavors that dance on your palate. Each bite delivers a tangy kick, followed by a comforting warmth that lingers just long enough to invite another.

This dish is remarkably versatile. Serve it as a standalone snack for a guilt-free indulgence, or as a vibrant appetizer to kick off any gathering. Arrange the vibrant orange florets on a platter, and watch them disappear as guests savor the tempting aroma and irresistible flavor.

For a cooling counterpoint, consider pairing the buffalo cauliflower with a creamy dipping sauce. The contrast in textures and temperatures elevates the entire experience, providing a welcome respite from the fiery sauce. Beyond its delicious taste and pleasing texture, buffalo cauliflower offers a lighter alternative to traditional wings.

Whether you're looking to reduce your meat consumption, cater to vegetarian friends, or simply explore new culinary horizons, this dish is sure to impress. Its simplicity makes it perfect for a quick weeknight snack, while its bold flavor makes it a star at any party. With its perfect balance of heat, texture, and flavor, buffalo cauliflower is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser.

Instructions

    1.
    Preheat an oven to 400 degrees. In a bowl, combine the almond flour, garlic powder, salt, pepper, paprika, onion powder, almond milk, egg, and water. Use a fork or whisk to mix until well combined. The batter should be thick enough to coat the cauliflower without running off. If the batter is too thick, gradually add more water until you reach the desired consistency.
    2.
    Chop the cauliflower into small florets. Line a sheet tray with parchment paper. Dip each floret into the batter one by one, ensuring it's fully coated, and then place it on the prepared tray. Shake off any excess batter before setting the florets down. Bake the cauliflower for 15 minutes, flipping them over halfway through the baking time.
    3.
    Set the tray of cauliflower aside to cool slightly, but leave the oven on. In a small pot, melt the butter over low heat, then whisk in the hot sauce. Stir until the sauce is fully combined and smooth, then remove it from the heat.
    4.
    Place the baked cauliflower in a large bowl and pour the hot sauce over it. Toss gently to coat the cauliflower evenly, or use a spatula to carefully fold the cauliflower into the sauce, ensuring each piece is completely covered. Once coated, place the cauliflower back on the baking tray.
    5.
    Bake the cauliflower for an additional 17 minutes without flipping them. Allow the cauliflower to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
