These vegan cauliflower buffalo wings make a perfect game-day snack, and once you try them, you'll be hooked for life. They are gluten-free and of course, vegan!The ranch dip is especially delicious. I know it takes a little extra time to whip it together yourself (rather than using a store-bought option) but it will be worth it, I promise!

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 450°F and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Combine the water, white rice flour, salt, paprika, and garlic powder in a large bowl. Whisk together to combine.
Thoroughly coat the cauliflower florets with the batter and place on the prepared baking sheet, evenly spaced out.
Bake on the center rack for 18-20 minutes, until they are slightly brown on the top.
Meanwhile, prepare the vegan ranch dip. Add all of the ingredients to a bowl and mix well to combine. Set aside.
Remove cauliflower wings from the oven and coat them in buffalo sauce. For best results, pour the sauce into a bowl and carefully dip each cauliflower into the sauce using a slotted spoon or fork (cauliflower will be hot).
Return buffalo cauliflower back into oven to crisp up for another 5 minutes.

Notes
Tip - If you don't have white rice flour, it is fine to use regular flour if gluten-free is not a necessity for you.Storage - Store leftover vegan wings in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
