Buffalo Cauliflower Wings
Serves 2 Ingredients -
1 - head of cauliflower
1/4 cup - sliced green onions
Ingredients - Batter
1 cup - plant based milk
1 tbsp - apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup - water
1 cup - all purpose flour
1 tbsp - corn starch
1/4 tsp - celery salt, garlic powder, salt, pepper
Ingredients - Breading
1 cup - all purpose flour
1 tsp - salt
Ingredients - Buffalo Sauce
1/4 cup - melted vegan butter
3/4 cup - franks red hot sauce
Instructions
Step 1 - Prep the cauliflower
Chop off the florets from the stem and reserve them in a bowl for later.
Step 2 - Prepare batter and breading
Measure out the dry and wet ingredients in 2 separate bowls and set up a heavy gauge pot with oil and allow that to heat up to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
I also like to get a sheetpan with parchment paper to put all my breaded cauliflower florets before frying.
Step 3 - Dip n coat the cauliflower
Dip each floret in the batter, shake off the excess batter, plop it in the dry breading, shake off the excess flower and place on a sheet try until all have been breaded and are ready to be fried.
Step 4 - Fry
Once the oil has reached 350 degrees Fahrenheit I drop in about 5-6 at a time. While that’s going I prepare the buffalo sauce by melting the butter and mixing the buffalo sauce in.
Step 5 - Toss n the sauce
Once all the florets have been fried I let them drain off that excess oil on a plate with paper towel. In a large bowl add in the fried cauliflower florets and pour over the buffalo sauce and toss the wings until nicely covered.
Step 6 - Plate
Transfer the wings to a bowl or plate and top with sliced green onions and enjoy.
