Buffalo Cauliflower
Among all the ways to enjoy cauliflower, one recipe stands out as a favorite: buffalo cauliflower. This vegetarian twist on Buffalo chicken wings features roasted cauliflower florets seasoned with paprika and garlic and tossed in an irresistible Buffalo sauce sweetened with honey, creating a flavor-packed blend of spicy and sweet flavors. The tangy Buffalo sauce and tender roasted cauliflower make a fantastic plant-based appetizer or main dish. Remember that these Buffalo cauliflower wings are baked — not fried — so they offer a healthier, lighter alternative to fried Buffalo chicken wings that are equally as tasty. You won't miss the traditional wings one bit!
