Buffalo Cauliflower Wings

The key to crispy buffalo cauliflower wings is coating the florets in a batter or breading and baking them at a high temperature, around 425°F, before tossing them in buffalo sauce. Baking them on a parchment-lined sheet pan without crowding helps achieve maximum crispiness.

Buffalo cauliflower wings are naturally plant-based since they use cauliflower florets instead of chicken, but you should check that the buffalo sauce and any breading ingredients used do not contain butter or dairy. Using a vegan butter-based buffalo sauce keeps the recipe fully vegan.

Buffalo cauliflower wings typically contain significantly fewer calories than traditional chicken wings, often ranging around 100 to 150 calories per serving depending on the amount of batter and sauce used. The calorie count varies heavily based on whether they are baked or fried.

Yes, air frying is one of the most popular methods for making buffalo cauliflower wings because it produces a crispy exterior with less oil than deep frying. Cook the battered florets at around 375°F for 15 to 20 minutes, then toss in buffalo sauce and air fry for a few more minutes.
