Cheesy Buffalo Cauliflower & Brussels Sprouts

cheesy buffalo cauliflower & brussels sprouts

It’s buffalo, but not as you know it! You may have tried the old vegan classic; buffalo cauliflower wings, but we’ll let you in for a secret – this recipe with its creamy cheesy sauce is the upgrade you always wanted! We glaze cauliflower, tofu chunks and brussels with delicious buttery, spicy sauce and give it a good bake in the oven, then cook it all under our house cashew cheese sauce. It doesn’t get better than this, don’t underestimate it!

If you want to eat more plants, roasting is the way to go. Surrounding your ingredients with dry heat coaxes out the flavor and transforms the texture of these hearty vegetables into caramelized nuggets of goodness.

Ingredients

for the buffalo sauce
  • ⅓ C or 80 ml hot sauce
  • ½ C or 125 ml plant-based butter, melted
  • 1 head cauliflower, core removed, chopped into florets
  • about 15 Brussels sprouts, ends, and outer leaves removed
  • 1 block firm tofu, cubed
  • pinch pepper
  • 2 t nutritional yeast (or, hippy fish food, as we like to call it)
  • 1/2 t garlic granules
  • cilantro, for garnish
  • 2 large carrots, sliced into sticks
  • 3 ribs celery, sliced into sticks

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F/232°C.
  2. Prepare all the vegetables and tofu. Add to a mixing bowl and set aside.
  3. To prepare the Buffalo sauce, whisk together hot sauce and melted v-butter, drizzling butter slowly in as you whisk.
  4. Toss cauliflower florets, Brussels sprouts, and tofu together with the buffalo sauce, pepper, nutritional yeast, and garlic powder.
  5. Pour and spread evenly onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from oven.
  6. Transfer entire the entire contents of the baking sheet into a large cast-iron skillet.
  7. Pour 1 cup (225 grams) of the vegan cauliflower cashew cheese sauce evenly over everything, and return to the oven.
  8. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheeze starts to brown. Remove from oven. Drizzle any remaining buffalo sauce over the top.
  9. Warm the remainder of the Wicked Awesome Sauce in a small bowl for dipping.
  10. Garnish cauliflower and Brussels sprouts with cilantro, and serve with carrot and celery sticks, and the warmed Awesome Sauce.
