This Easy Vegan Cauliflower Honey Buffalo Wings recipe turns simple cauliflower florets into a crispy, spicy, and slightly sweet plant-based treat. The cauliflower is coated in a light flour batter, baked until golden, and then tossed in a tangy buffalo sauce made from hot sauce, vegan butter, and maple syrup for a honey-like flavor. It’s a quick, flavorful alternative to traditional wings — perfect for game nights, snacks, or a fun dinner option — all while staying completely vegan and easy to make with just a few ingredients.
