Vegan Buffalo Broccoli Wings are perfect vegan party appetizers. These vegan broccoli wings in spicy buffalo sauce is delicious to another level. This is a great snack for kids as well. My kid’s new favorite snack is buffalo broccoli, buffalo cauliflower, bbq cauliflower wings.
Vegan cauliflower wings are in trend these days. I love cauliflower wings in any sauces. The same is my love with broccoli. I love broccoli too in fact little more than I love cauliflower. I love the dark green cruciferous vegetables and green leafy vegetables a lot.
This is one of the healthiest vegetables on this planet. Broccoli belongs to the same cruciferous family that of cauliflower and kale. This is equally nutritious. It’s good to make our kids eat such healthy foods. But these appetizers are excellent to make your kid eat one great vegetable.
Is Broccoli a Super-Food?
Yes. Broccoli is a superfood that is rich in many essential nutrients and micronutrients. This is high in fiber content along with vitamin K (115% of RDI), C (135% of RDI), folic acid, potassium. All vitamins and minerals help to keep us healthy in numerous ways.
Vitamin C is a natural antioxidant that fights with free radicals and protects us. This also builds collagen and keeps skin, bone strong. High fiber helps in keeping the digestive tract healthy and flushes out excess fat. It keeps heart healthy, keeps obesity away, reduces blood sugar and cholesterol level.
There are many more health benefits. I will be sharing a separate post soon of broccoli benefits (broccoli health benefits)
Does Broccoli Help in Weight Loss?
Broccoli is a rich source of fiber. Fiber keeps the bowel movement proper. It helps in lowering cholesterol also. The high vitamin C helps in accelerating weight loss. And the high protein keeps you fuller for long adding to weight loss. This low carb vegetable is also keto-friendly. Read about 10 keto-friendly vegetables here.

How to Make Buffalo Broccoli Wings?
Ingredients:
Broccoli Head: Take a large head broccoli. Cut into bite-sized florets. Don’t discard all stalks of florets.
Flour: Here I have taken gram flour. If you are not resistant to gluten, you can take refined flour. Another alternative is rice flour and corn starch mixture for the gluten-free batter.
Buffalo Sauce: Make your buffalo sauce with hot sauce, vinegar, maple syrup, salt, garlic powder, olive oil.
Instructions:
Make the batter: Make a thick batter of flour, salt, pepper, hot sauce, onion powder, garlic powder. Keep the consistency medium thick so that florets will be coated well. Also, use the non-dairy milk to make the batter.
Coat with bread crumbs: On a plate take a generous amount of bread crumbs. Panko bread crumbs give the best crispy wings. Season it with salt and pepper. Dip the florets in the batter and roll it on breadcrumbs. Repeat for all.
Bake or Panfry: For baking, preheat oven at 200 degrees. Transfer the coated broccoli wings to a baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes, flipping in between. For pan-frying, just heat oil and shallow fry each side till it’s golden and crispy. Flip to all sides so that it’s equally cooked. Once cooked take out from oil and keep on a paper napkin to drain out excess oil.
Prepare Buffalo Sauce: In the meantime prepare buffalo sauce by adding hot sauce, maple syrup, vinegar, olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder.
Coat with buffalo sauce: Now pour in the buffalo sauce on fried/ baked wings.
Bake: Bake for another 5 minutes at 200-degree centigrade.
