One of the first recipes I posted on my previous blog, For the Sake of Good Taste, was an all-time personal favourite: a buffalo cauliflower sandwich. In a similar vein, I’m a huge fan of buffalo cauliflower wings.

I first made a version of these buffalo cauliflower wings during my freshman year of college. A friend and I hosted a super bowl party for our larger friend group and I was hooked! Now, I can’t remember the recipe we used. But that’s okay—it started my love affair with buffalo cauliflower in all its forms.
Since then, I’ve tried dozens of different recipes and adapted my own to come up with this one…though let’s be honest, I’ll almost definitely adapt it more. I’ve made it with fresh and frozen cauliflower florets, store-bought or homemade buffalo sauce, and with or without the crispy batter and coating.
It’s delicious all of these ways and likely more! Find a new, creative take? Let me know in the comments so I can try too! Or, tag us @anideallifeblog on Instagram, Pinterest, Twitter, or Facebook.
