BUFFALO CAULIFLOWER

With the Superbowl only about a week away I'm sure that you're all wondering what vegan appetizer to serve at your big game day party.

Well you're in luck. Below is a delicious recipe for my Spicy Buffalo Cauliflower Wings.

As a non-meat eater it's sometimes hard to find the perfect vessel for your favorite condiments. Without chicken in my life I've found baked cauliflower to be a great replacement for everyone's favorite football snack.

Ingredients:

1 head of chopped cauliflower                                        
1 cup of water
1 cup of all purpose flour
1 teaspoon of garlic powder
salt/pepper to taste
3/4 cup of your favorite buffalo sauce

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees, line a baking sheet with tinfoil/parchment paper and spray lightly with cooking spray.
2.  Mix water and flour together and season mixture with salt/pepper/garlic powder. Mixture should be thick enough to coat the cauliflower.
3. Dip individual cauliflower florets into the flour mixture. Dip the florets heavy side down not stem side down and allow excess flour to drip off of the florets.
4. Place florets on baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes. The cauliflower coating should be browning and slightly crispy.
5. After the 20-25 minutes remove the cauliflower from the pan since there will probably be debris leftover. Move the florets to a bowl and coat with buffalo sauce.
6. Place buffalo covered cauliflower back on clean baking sheet and bake for 10 additional minutes.
7. Serve hot with blue cheese/ranch dressing
