    💭 Top Tips

    • In place of the buckwheat/tapioca flour blend, all purpose gluten-free flour can be used in a pinch!
    • It’s important to pat the cauliflower dry after preparing to ensure a crispier cauliflower wing as opposed to a soggy one.
    • If you do not like or do not have sriracha on hand, any favorite hot sauce will work with similar results.
    • Keep in mind conventional sriracha sometimes has sulfites and other preservatives that those that are gluten-sensitive are sometimes sensitive to as well. We like to use these two sriracha brands for that reason: this one and this one are our faves.
    • We also aren’t fans of sickeningly sweet ketchup, and for that reason we love this one sweetened with agave syrup.
    • These wings taste best straight out of the oven, but can be stored in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. To re-heat and re-crisp, place into a 400 degree oven until warmed throughout.
    • These BBQ cauliflower wings are great dipped into a favorite condiment such as ranch (as shown), to top off salads or wraps, or served alongside other side dishes — the possibilities are endless!
