(Veggie) Buffalo "Wings"



I love wings, especially during football season. These awesome veggie wings do not make you miss the fried chicken at all- they have quickly become a favorite football snack, even among the meat lovers!

- 1 1/4c flour
- 1 1/4c milk (or water)
- 1 Tbsp garlic powder
- 1 head cauliflower, in bite-sized pieces
- 1 c assorted veggies, as desired (if not used, just adjust the milk mixture to 1c flour, 1c milk, 2 1/2tsp garlic powder)
- 1 bottle buffalo sauce (12 oz.)
 - 1 Tbsp oil

 1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
 2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, milk, and garlic powder. Whisk until the mixture is well blended. Add the veggies and coat. I coat using the same motion as you would to combine spaghetti sauce into a pot of pasta, using 2 wooden spoons.
3. Place coated veggies onto a greased or foil-covered pan. Try to get just one layer for the most even cooking.

4. Cook for 18 - 20 minutes. If the foil is sticking to the runoff batter, it's done.
5. Combine the buffalo sauce and oil. Remove the foil from the veggies and put them back into the baking pan. Pour sauce over the veggies.
Proper buffalo sauce is key! 

6. Return to the oven for another 5 - 8 minutes.
7. Serve with ranch sauce and some celery. Pairs well with cold nights and football!
Proper beer coozies are also key!
