Did you know that eating spicy food might just be really good for you? As if we needed another reason to feel the burn!

Cauliflower may not have wings, but neither does a buffalo. You don’t need to eat a chicken if you’re looking to get your spice on. All you need is some crispy cauliflower, a handful of spices, and a tall glass of water (just in case!).

As any spice junky can tell you, no buffalo “wing” is complete without an equally tasty dip. And since we’re talking buffalo, it might as well be a ranch dip! Creamy and tangy with avocado and lemon, it provides a great contrast to the hot hot heat of the cauliflower.

These buffalo “wings” are a great party snack. If you’ve got a few friends coming round, you can easily scale the recipe up.

For Buffalo Cauliflower Wings

Rinse the head of cauliflower and chop into florets. Pat dry well until there is little to no moisture left on them.
In a small, bullet type blender, process the remaining ingredients until very smooth. Pour over the cauliflower and toss until well coated.
Place on a lined sheet in the dehydrator and dry at 118 degrees for about two hours until the buffalo sauce is thickened and the cauliflower has softened.
