Instructions:
For the Cauliflower:
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, whisk the eggs until well beaten.
- In a separate bowl, combine the almond flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
- Dip each cauliflower floret into the beaten eggs, letting any excess drip off, and then coat it with the almond flour mixture. Press the coating onto the cauliflower to ensure it sticks.
- Place the coated cauliflower florets on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced out evenly.
- Lightly spray or brush the cauliflower with cooking spray or a small amount of oil. This will help them get crispy in the oven.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, flipping the florets halfway through, until the cauliflower is tender and the coating is crispy and golden.
For the Buffalo Sauce:
- In a saucepan, melt the butter over low heat.
- Add the hot sauce, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce (if using), garlic powder, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to combine and heat the sauce until it’s warmed through. You can adjust the amount of hot sauce based on your desired level of spiciness.
Coating the Cauliflower:
- Once the cauliflower is baked and crispy, transfer it to a large mixing bowl.
- Pour the prepared buffalo sauce over the cauliflower. Gently toss and stir to coat the cauliflower evenly with the sauce.
Serving:
- Serve the buffalo cauliflower wings with celery sticks and your choice of ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping.
- Enjoy your delicious and spicy cauliflower buffalo wings as a flavorful appetizer or snack!
