Buffalo Cauliflower Recipe
Description
This Buffalo Cauliflower recipe starts by preparing cauliflower florets coated with a batter made from flour, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and milk, followed by a panko breadcrumb coating for extra crispness. The cauliflower is baked at high heat until golden and crisp on the outside.
After baking, the hot cauliflower is tossed in buffalo wing sauce, then returned to the oven briefly to set the sauce and develop additional browning. The result is crispy outside florets with a spicy, tangy flavor from the sauce.
As a dish, it serves as a vegetarian substitute for buffalo wings and can be served as an appetizer or snack. The crispy texture contrasts with the tender interior of the cauliflower.
Ingredients
- olive oil spray
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 1 1/2 cups panko
- 2 heads cauliflower cut to bite size
- 1 cup buffalo wing sauce mild
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
- Pour 1 cup milk in a bowl, set aside. In a ziploc gallon bag, mix together flour, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Add Panko to a separate baggie.
- Coat cauliflower by dipping each piece in milk then tossing in flour mixture. Place back in milk, and then toss in Panko. Set on a heavily greased, foil lined, baking sheet and bake for 20-25.
- Remove from oven and toss baked cauliflower pieces in buffalo sauce. Return cauliflower back to greased baking sheet and cook for an additional 10 minutes, broiling for the last 2 minutes. Enjoy!
