Another “veganised” recipe – the famous Buffalo Wings, but without the wings of the chicken!

I can’t even tell you how pleased I am with this recipe. Just another example of how tasty vegan food can be AND without adding any fake meat. Simply the spices and the vegetable. It makes a proper dinner party or buffet table dish, trust me, even carnivores will love it. This is probably because of the lovely mixture of warm spices and the hot buffalo sauce.

Buffalo Cauliflower Bites in Air Fryer

I have the recipe below written up to bake in the oven – however, it’s also a perfect recipe for air fryers.

Here’s how to make it in the air fryer:

Preheat the air fryer to 200C/400F
Mix the ingredients, add the cauliflower and stir to coat
Arrange in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Work in batches, rather then pushing the florets too close to each other
Air fry for 9 minutes. Flip them over carefully, and air fry for another 5 to 10 minutes, or until the cauliflower is dark and crisp around the edges.

Buffalo Cauliflower Bites Deep Fried

Of course it is also possible to deep fry them in sunflower and vegetable oil, like you could do with breaded chicken wings and other things. Just make sure the frying oil is piping hot when you fry the buffalo Cauliflower Bites, the oil covers them entirely and that you fry them for about 5-6 minutes. Work in batches.

It’s not a big deal to prepare this either, ready under an hour. It can be reheated too, but will not be as nice as freshly made.

This Vegan Buffalo Cauliflower Bites With Buffalo and Ranch Sauce Recipe is the perfect way to cut out one meat based meal – because every vegan meal makes a difference! By cutting down your meat and dairy consumption just by 30% – which is the advised percentage for health and environmental reasons – you are making a big difference!

Tip: don’t toss the leaves of the cauliflower away!

In proper zero waste style, save the cauliflower leaves and simple roast them for 10-15 minutes (until the edges of the leaves are getting golden brown and crispy) and serve them with the rest of the meal. They are really tasty roasted (pretty much like kale) and go well with the vegan Ranch Sauce as well.

Also, by using a reusable silicone baking liner, you can skip greasing the bottom of the baking sheet.

So enjoy this recipe – a tasty vegan staple for sure!
