6. 6. In a small bowl, whisk together the buffalo sauce and melted vegan butter.
7. 7. Transfer the baked cauliflower florets to a large bowl and pour the buffalo sauce mixture over them, tossing to coat evenly.
8. 8. Serve the Vegan Buffalo Cauliflower Wings immediately, with your favorite dipping sauce on the side, such as ranch or blue cheese.
Notes
For an extra crispy texture, you can briefly broil the baked cauliflower florets for 2-3 minutes before tossing them in the buffalo sauce. To make these gluten-free, use a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
