Ingredients and Substitutions

These are the main ingredients and substitutions for Gluten Free Buffalo Cauliflower. Be sure to scroll down to the recipe card at the bottom of this page for a full list of ingredients and instructions.

You can use a whole cauliflower and chop them into cauliflower florets, or buy cauliflower florets from a bag.

I personally love using the buffalo sauce from Primal Kitchen Foods, but you can use any buffalo sauce such as Franks Red Hot.

Paprika gives these cauliflower bites a smokey flavor, similar to what wings typically taste like.

Garlic and onion powder give these buffalo bites a savory added flavor.

Salt and pepper helps balance out the flavors.

Almond flour is the flour that I use to make these buffalo wings grain free. I have not tested this recipe with any other flours.

Kitchen tools needed to make Air Fried Wings

I used my air fryer to make this recipe. But I know not everyone has an air fryer, and that’s okay. You can still make this recipe in the oven and they will turn out just the same!

• air fryer (or oven)
• mixing bowls
• measuring spoons

How to make

Making these cauliflower wings is so simple! From start to finish they will be ready in less than 30 minutes. Let’s get into it.

ONE: Chop and then wash the head of cauliflower. I like to use a fruit scrub to make sure I get rid of any pesticides or bugs that are lingering.

TWO: Dry the cauliflower florets and place them into a large mixing bowl. Pour the buffalo sauce over the cauliflower wings and coat them really well. Like REALLY well. Ideally, you don’t want to see any white from the cauliflower. Set aside.

THREE: In a separate medium bowl, combine almond flour and spices. Then, add in buffalo cauliflower and toss until each piece is well coated.

FOUR: Place the wings into the air fryer in a single layer. Do not over crowd the wings as this will result in a soggy wing. Air fry at 350F for 20 minutes. Remove from the fryer and serve with ranch or blue cheese. ENJOY!

Tips and Tricks

Don’t over crowd your air fryer, allow there to be some room in between each piece. Over crowding the air fryer will result in a soggy wing.

Make sure each cauliflower floret is well coated with buffalo sauce and seasonings.

How to serve and store

Serve these Gluten Free Buffalo Cauliflower wings with ranch or blue cheese.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or the air fryer for best results.
