How to Make Baked Vegetarian Buffalo Cauliflower Wings
- Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup milk (dairy or soy), 1/2 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour (or regular flour), and 1 teaspoon garlic powder until smooth.
- Cut 1 large head of cauliflower into bite-sized florets. Toss the cauliflower florets in the flour mixture, ensuring they're evenly coated.
- Spread the cauliflower in a single layer on a shallow baking sheet.
- Bake for 18 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup buffalo wing sauce (start with less if you prefer less heat), and 1 tablespoon olive oil or melted margarine.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Pour the buffalo sauce mixture evenly over the cauliflower.
- Return to the oven and bake for an additional 5-8 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender and slightly browned. For extra cheesy goodness, sprinkle 1/2 cup shredded jack cheese over the cauliflower during the last 2 minutes of baking.
- Serve immediately with your favorite blue cheese or ranch dressing and celery sticks.
