Cauliflower Buffalo Wings

All the Buffalo Flavor You Love In a Veggie Everyone Will Try

If you love bold, saucy flavors but want an easier way to get more veggies on the table, these cauliflower buffalo wings are the answer. They deliver everything people crave about classic buffalo wings: the crisp edges and tangy heat but without deep frying or complicated prep. Even self-proclaimed veggie skeptics tend to reach for seconds!

This recipe works especially well for picky eaters because the flavor does the heavy lifting. The familiar buffalo sauce masks any bitterness, while the crispy texture and rich flavor makes cauliflower feel satisfying. Serve them as an appetizer, game-day snack, or simple dinner side, and don’t be surprised if they disappear faster than expected.
