Recipe: Vegetarian/Vegan Buffalo Wings

You may or may not know this, but I am hardcore vegetarian - almost to the point of vegan. I'm also very health-concious when it comes to eating and am obsessed with my juicer! That being said I'm really into finding new and exciting recipes that fit in with my lifestyle. Something I've recently been loving is this Buffalo Wing Cauliflower. It never ceases to subsidize my craving for chicken wings - the one thing the "fake meat" industry hasn't quite gotten yet, or at least that I've found.

These are super quick and easy - the only thing that takes time is the cauliflower baking, the prep is super simple. I recommend not tossing them in the sauce until you're ready to eat them as they can get a bit soggy once they've been in long, and personally I like them crispy :~)

INGREDIENTS
  • 1 head of cauliflower  
  • 1 cup of milk (substitute for vegan options)
  • 3/4 cup of flour
  • 2 teaspoons of garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon of butter (substitute for vegan options)
  • 3/4 cup of Frank's red hot sauce 
  • blue cheese for dipping






DIRECTIONS
  1. Preheat the oven to 450F
  2. Cut the cauliflower into bite sized pieces
  3. In a shallow bowl mix together the milk, flower and garlic powder
  4. Dip the cauliflower into the batter
  5. Place onto a greased baking sheet
  6. Spray the tops of the cauliflower with cooking oil - this makes them crispy
  7. Bake for ~18 minutes
  8. Melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat
  9. Mix in the hot sauce, stir together
  10. Once the cauliflower is ready, toss with the sauce
  11. Serve with a side of blue cheese dressing
