Messy, spicy, and with a hit of vinegar tang, these bites are just as tasty as the original chicken wing version created late one night at a Buffalo, New York bar. Only this version is vegetarian, and Keto diet-friendly! The recipe is a Yummly original created by Angela Brassinga.

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 450°F.

Lightly coat a baking sheet with oil. Set aside.

Separate the cauliflower into florets 1 1/2 to 2 inches wide, but include any smaller pieces, as well.

Combine the oil, nutritional yeast, and seasonings in a large bowl and stir until well combined. Add the cauliflower and toss to coat evenly.

Arrange the cauliflower in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.

Bake the cauliflower on middle rack of oven until well browned in spots and tender-crisp (check with a fork), about 15 minutes. While the cauliflower bakes, make the sauce.

Place the hot sauce and melted butter in a large bowl and stir to combine. Set aside.

Check to see that cauliflower is done. Remove from oven or add time as needed.

Add the hot cauliflower to the sauce mixture and toss to coat.

Transfer cauliflower to a platter. Serve immediately with blue cheese dressing and celery sticks.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Cauliflower Coating Technique 🥦
For maximum crispiness, thoroughly dry the cauliflower florets with paper towels before coating to remove excess moisture and ensure a crunchier texture.
Spice Balance Mastery 🌶️
Mix the hot sauce and spices in a separate bowl first to create a more even and consistent coating that clings perfectly to the cauliflower.
Baking Sheet Magic 🥄
Use a wire rack on your baking sheet to allow air circulation, which helps create an all-over crispy texture instead of soggy bottoms.
Nutritional Yeast Pro Tip 🧀
Add nutritional yeast to your coating for an extra umami flavor and protein boost that mimics the savory notes of traditional buffalo wings.
Sauce Application Technique 💦
Toss the cauliflower in sauce immediately after baking to maintain maximum crispiness, and return to the oven for a quick 2-3 minute crisp-up.
