Smother cauliflower florets in buffalo sauce for an easy crowd-pleasing meatless snack!
These baked buffalo cauliflower bites are fully loaded with flavor and spice! They're a healthier vegan / vegetarian alternative to traditional buffalo wings.
How to Make Crispy Cauliflower Wings
Start by tossing the florets in a mixture of flour and dairy-free milk. I use almond milk!
Once dipped into the mixture, completely coat each piece in seasoned breadcrumbs, then transfer to a baking sheet.
After the cauliflower florets have baked, cover them with buffalo sauce then pop them back in the oven for a few extra minutes.
Then it's SNACK TIME!
Frequently asked questions

Of course! I recommend choosing a cauliflower on the smaller side. To prepare, cut and trim the cauliflower then use your hands to break apart into florets.
How to make make cauliflower bites vegan?
Substitute honey with maple syrup or omit completely.

Substitute with gluten-free flour and breadcrumbs.
What should I serve with my buffalo cauliflower bites?
I love serving these cauliflower wings with sliced veggies and vegan ranch dressing. Any creamy dip is delicious though!
What if I have leftovers?
In the highly unlikely event you have leftovers, they can be stored in your refrigerator in a covered container. To reheat, I suggest warming in the oven.
