Tips & Notes
- •I love to serve these with a side of homemade vegan ranch dressing - it cools down the spice perfectly.
- •If you're feeling adventurous, try adding a sprinkle of nutritional yeast on top for a cheesy flavor!
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes I’ll toss in a bit of BBQ sauce instead of buffalo for a different flavor profile.
- •You can also experiment with different kinds of hot sauce if you want to try something new!
Storage & Freezing
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Just reheat them in the oven to get that crispiness back!
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prep the cauliflower and batter ahead of time, just store them separately in the fridge. Bake them fresh right before serving.
