Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, and salt. Gradually mix in buttermilk until a thick batter forms.
  3. Break cauliflower into bite-sized florets and dip each one into the batter, ensuring they are evenly coated.
  4. Place the coated cauliflower wings on the prepared baking sheets, allowing space between each piece.
  5. Bake the cauliflower wings for 20 minutes, until they start to look golden.
  6. Carefully flip each cauliflower wing over and bake for an additional 20 minutes until golden-brown.
  7. While the cauliflower wings are baking, melt butter in a small bowl, then mix in buffalo sauce.
  8. Once the wings are baked, transfer them to a large bowl and pour the buffalo sauce mixture over them. Toss gently to coat.
  9. Serve warm with celery sticks and your favorite dipping sauce.
