Buffalo Cauliflower ‘Wings’

July 8, 2015

Buffalo Cauliflower 'Wings' - Hot, spicy, delicious AND healthy!!! YUM! | kellym61.sg-host.comThese crispy, spicy breaded buffalo cauliflower ‘wings’ are vegan and gluten free. So delicious with vegan ranch dip and cool, crisp celery on the side.  You may have seen these beauties flying around the inter webs.  I keep hearing about Buffalo Cauliflower Wings.  I understand how confusing it is (and maybe even a turn-off) for people to accept vegetairian dishes that use their meat counterparts name.

YUM! | kellym61.sg-host.comNot that there is anything wrong with either version.  It’s the expectation that it sets for what you’re about to bite into.  And I understand why people who typically nosh on the Standard American Diet are upset, grossed out, and done with vegetables when their veg meals don’t taste exactly like the meat and dairy counterparts.

BuffaloCauliflower-2These ‘wings’ are NOT an exact match to buffalo chicken wings.  Not trying to pull the wool over anyone’s eyes here.  As a person who eats veggie fare as my noms and who used to enjoy meats, I DO get a similar satisfaction when opening my mouth and inhaling some buffalo sauce steam, then pulling away in a coughing fit.  Same thing thing that happens with a spicy chicken wing.  Oh, yeah.

And finally, dipping piece after piece into tangy, salty, creamy vegan ranch dip.  Ahhhh!!!  Bliss!
