Notes
Tips for the best baked cauliflower buffalo wings:
- If you don’t have buttermilk on hand, make your own with whatever milk you like (planted based or regular milk) by adding 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar or lemon juice to 3/4 cup milk! Let stand for 5 minutes to thicken and then use as directed! You can find a full tutorial on this here!
- If you’d like to make these vegan buffalo cauliflower bites, simple swap the buttermilk for plant based buttermilk and the butter for coconut oil or vegan butter!
- If you’d like to make these gluten free, swap out the all purpose flour for gluten free flour!
- Make sure to space out the cauliflower pieces on the parchment paper to make sure they can crispy on all sides!
