No one can resist a good buffalo sauce, especially on chicken wings. But, if you are vegetarian, or trying to eat less meat, you can still enjoy that gorgeous sauce just on something a little healthier like cauliflower. This buffalo cauliflower is jam-packed with flavor that will make you forget all about chicken.

Cauliflower

  1. Preheat the oven to 450 F.
  2. Mix together 1 cup of water, 1 cup of flour and 1 teaspoon of salt and garlic powder, each in a large bowl.
  3. Cut a head of cauliflower in florets and cover all of them in the batter.
  4. Put the florets on a parchment lined baking sheet and cook for 20 minutes or until golden.

Buffalo Sauce

  1. In a saucepan, combine 1/2 cup of your favorite hot sauce, 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter, 1/2 tablespoon of white vinegar, a splash of Worcestershire sauce, and a pinch of salt, paprika, cayenne, and garlic powder.
  2. Mix well until the butter has melted and then wait until it comes to a simmer to take it off the heat.
  3. Pour the mixture over the baked cauliflower and put them back into the oven for 8-10 minutes until they get really crispy, but not burnt.
  4. Serve with them with ranch dressing and enjoy!

There are tons of ways to be vegetarian and vegan and still get your fix of meat substitutes. However, many of these products are made with soy, and when you consume too much soy, there are adverse reactions.

Instead, turn to seitan, a wonderful meat alternative that has no soy whatsoever! It is, however, not safe for people with gluten intolerance, but if you aren’t, then seitan is for you!

What Is It Made Of?

Seitan is made from vital wheat gluten. Wheat gluten is the main protein of wheat, which is what gives people who are gluten-free bad effects. Essentially, all that is in seitan is the wheat gluten, water, and sometimes other spices and seasonings.

How To Use it

Seitan is a neutral tasting product, so it takes on big bold flavors really well. Saute it with cumin, chili powder, cayenne pepper, and oregano for Latin-inspiredย tacos. You can also dredge it in barbecue sauce and make it into a grilling staple. Or throw it into a coconut milk curry along with peppers, onions, carrots, and green onion. Any place you would normally use meat or a meat alternative, consider switching to seitan instead.
