Our Dreamy Italian Cauliflower Wings were so popular in 2018 that we decided to give this plant-based recipe an upgrade. Vegetarian, vegan keto, Primal/paleo, and Whole30, cauliflower wings are a vegan alternative to chicken wings.
Dust cauliflower florets with almond flour and seasonings—or, to simplify, a tasty, compliant buffalo sauce—and either bake or Air Fry at high heat to achieve a crunchy, toasty exterior and a yielding interior. We doused our cauliflower wings in vegan, Whole30, and paleo-friendly Primal Kitchen Buffalo Sauce before baking to give the cauliflower wings plenty of kick.
Our five-ingredient buffalo sauce cauliflower wings use only five ingredients—all of the flavor comes from Primal Kitchen Buffalo Sauce, no extra garlic powder, hot sauce, or melted butter necessary.

How to Cook Buffalo Cauliflower Wings in the Oven
You can bake these cauliflower wings on large baking sheets in the oven, too, if you don't have an AirFryer. Here's how to do it:
- Crank the oven up to 450ºF
- Coat cauliflower wings in almond flour, shaking off any excess flour, before placing on baking sheets. Leave a small bit of room between each wing on the sheet pans, using two sheet pans if necessary
- Bake the wings for 20 minutes. Remove the baking sheets from the oven
- Brush Primal Kitchen Buffalo Sauce onto each cauliflower wing, flipping over to coat all sides
- Place baking sheets back in the oven and bake for another 20 minutes
- Remove from the oven and enjoy!
