Buffalo wings. Synonymous with beer, football, and lazy Sundays.
Ever since BL and I started dating, Sundays from September through January are reserved for bar food and hours of endless football.
Besides Nachos, Buffalo Wings are one of BL’s favorite foods. Since going vegetarian, I know he has missed wings the most. I’ve tried replicating the flavor in my buffalo chix salad, but I know it’s just not the same.
There’s just something about dipping a hunk of buffalo sauce into creamy, cool ranch dressing! I’ve never gotten the appeal of buffalo wings, but I totally understand the obsession with the sauce. I loved these nuggets and will definitely be making them for Super Bowl. In fact, at the end of the day, I think I ate more of these than BL did!
Whether you are vegetarian or not, these are the perfect solution to traditional wings, but much healthier and lower in both calories and fat. You could eat the entire recipe for the same about of calories in 6 regular wings! What’s not to love about that?
First, chop a head of cauliflower into bite size pieces. You want them big enough to be able to pick up and eat in one bite.
Mix together 1 cup all-purpose, whole wheat or gluten free flour of your choice with 1 cup unflavored non-dairy milk. I used 1 cup whole wheat flour with 1 cup unsweetened almond milk. Add 2 tsp. garlic powder & 1 tsp. onion powder. Whisk to combine.
If you want a more traditional, greasier wing, try frying them in a tempura batter and covering with buffalo sauce.
Dip each piece of cauliflower into the batter, making sure each piece is thoroughly coated. Preheat the oven to 450°F. Bake for 15 minutes.
Remove from oven. Mix 3/4 cup buffalo hot sauce with 1 tbsp. melted butter. Dip each piece of cauliflower into the buffalo mix. Return to the baking sheet and cook another 5 minutes.
Remove from oven and drizzle with remaining sauce. Serve with your favorite dressing and celery sticks!
PrintThis vegetarian twist is healthier and lower in calories and fat than the classic buffalo wings recipe and it’s delicious, too!
