Buffalo Fried 'Chicken' Sandwich

Method

Buffalo Fried 'Chicken' Sandwich

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cauliflower

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Cut the cauliflower head into bite-sized florets.

  2. 2

    Make the Batter

    In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until well mixed. Gradually add almond milk to the dry ingredients, stirring until a smooth batter forms.

  3. 3

    Coat the Cauliflower

    Dip each cauliflower floret into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated. Shake off any excess batter.

  4. 4

    Bake the Cauliflower

    Place the battered cauliflower florets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden and crispy, flipping halfway through.

  5. 5

    Prepare Buffalo Sauce

    In a small saucepan, heat the hot sauce over medium heat until warm. Remove from heat and set aside.

  6. 6

    Combine Cauliflower with Buffalo Sauce

    Once the cauliflower is done baking, transfer it to a large bowl. Pour the warm buffalo sauce over the baked cauliflower, tossing gently to coat the florets evenly.

  7. 7

    Assemble the Sandwiches

    Spread vegan mayonnaise on the inside of each bun. Place a few lettuce leaves, some buffalo cauliflower, tomato slices, and pickles on the bottom half of each bun. Top with the other half of the bun.

  8. 8

    Serve

    Serve the buffalo fried 'chicken' sandwiches immediately while hot. Enjoy!
