Buffalo Cauliflower Sliders
With our second baby coming in less than a month, I've been making some recipes that require a little bit more hands on. I know I won't be able to enjoy that time in the kitchen as much once the baby comes and we all know I love being in the kitchen! These buffalo cauliflower sliders aren't difficult to make, by any means, but they are a little putsy.
Watch the video below to see how I made them!
That said, these cauliflower sliders are completely, 100% worth the extra effort! Bonus: they can be made vegan and lactose-free if you want, by using vegan ranch dressing and GO VEGGIE Cheddar Slices which come in Vegan or Lactose-Free versions! Using the GO VEGGIE slices, you'll save yourself calories, cholesterol, and saturated fat, which basically means you can go ahead and have an extra one!
Ingredients in Buffalo Cauliflower Sliders
These sliders have very few ingredients, including flour, milk, Panko breadcrumbs, cauliflower, buffalo wing sauce, and cheese. You'll also use some ranch dressing and broccoli slaw to make a yummy and simple coleslaw to go on top. Lastly, you'll want some kind of slider buns - I've used everything from Hawaiian rolls and sesame slider buns, to pretzel slider buns!

Buffalo Cauliflower Sliders
Ingredients
- 1 medium head of cauliflower
- ¾ cup flour I used white whole wheat
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 to 1 ½ cups Panko breadcrumbs depending on how large your cauliflower head is and how generous you are with coating your cauliflower pieces
- 1 cup buffalo wing sauce plus more for topping
- 1 package broccoli slaw mix or regular coleslaw mix works too
- ½ cup vegan ranch or regular ranch if you're not vegan
- 12 slices Lactose Free GO VEGGIE Cheddar Slices
- 12 Slider buns
