How to make Buffalo Cauliflower Wings:

  1. Line one baking sheet with parchment paper and preheat your oven to 375-400 °F.
  2. In a medium size bowl, combine all dry mix ingredients together and set aside.
  3. Wash and cut cauliflower head into bite-sized pieces.
  4. In an another medium size bowl, mix the milk, water and chickpea flower until combined. It should be thick enough to coat each piece of cauliflower without dripping off.
  5. Dip each piece of cauliflower into the wet mixture tapping off excess batter. Then, place wet cauliflower into the dry mixture. Recommend doing this one piece at a time.
  6. Lay the cauliflower pieces in a single layer on the baking sheet.
  7. Bake for about 20 minutes until golden brown making sure to flip them halfway through the cooking process.
  8. While the cauliflower pieces are baking, mix together your buffalo sauce in a large bowl.
  9. After the cauliflower is done its first baking time, remove from the oven and toss the pieces in the large bowl of buffalo sauce.
  10. Once evenly coated, place back on the baking sheet and bake for another 15 minutes or until nicely crispy.
  11. Serve with ranch, blue cheese, additional buffalo sauce or your favorite dip. Enjoy!
