Pro Tips for the Best Buffalo Cauliflower Wings

  • Keep the Batter Light: You want just enough batter to coat the florets—too much will make them soggy instead of crispy.
  • Use High Heat: Baking at 450°F ensures a crispy exterior while keeping the inside tender.
  • Flip Halfway Through: This helps the cauliflower roast evenly and get that golden crispiness on all sides.
  • Brush, Don’t Drench: Instead of soaking the florets in buffalo sauce, lightly brush it on to prevent sogginess.
  • Pair with a Good Dip: These are amazing with vegan ranch, dairy-free blue cheese, or homemade tahini dressing!

Kitchen Tools You’ll Need

  • Mixing Bowls – To toss the cauliflower in batter and buffalo sauce.
