Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 450ºF or 230ºC.
  • Wash and cut the cauliflower head into bite-sized pieces or florets.
  • Mix the batter ingredients in a bowl until well combined.
  • Dip each floret into the batter and coat evenly. Shake off the excess and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Bake for 20 minutes, flipping over the florets halfway through.
  • To make the Buffalo wings sauce you can mix all the ingredients in a bowl or add them to a blender and blend until smooth.
  • After that, pour the sauce into a mixing bowl. 
  • Toss the baked florets in the sauce, 1 or 2 pieces at a time. Shake off the excess and place them back on the baking sheet.
  • Bake them for another 20 minutes or until golden brown, flipping over the florets halfway through.
  • Serve with vegan ranch dressing, vegan sour cream, healthy ketchup, or healthy barbecue sauce. Go ahead and serve them with your favorite sauces or ingredients!
  • Keep the leftovers in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Notes

  • Feel free to use store-bought Buffalo wings sauce or even mix hot sauce with some tahini.
  • Use any type of vinegar.
  • You can substitute the tamari or soy sauce for salt (although in that case, you should add 2 tablespoon of water as well).
  • Feel free to replace the tahini with extra virgin olive oil or any other kind of oil (you may need to add less water though).
  • Add, change, or replace the spices you'd like.
  • The sauce is pretty spicy, so I suggest you add about ⅛ teaspoon of cayenne powder first, then taste it and add more of it if needed.
