Vegan Crispy Tofu Buffalo Wings

That tangy, fiery buffalo kick you crave from wings is absolutely achievable without any animal products, and this recipe proves it in the most satisfying way. Extra-firm tofu gets pressed until dense, then torn by hand into jagged, irregular pieces — that rough texture is the secret, because all those craggy edges grab the cornstarch coating and turn shatteringly crisp in a hot oven. A blend of smoked paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder seasons every piece before it even meets the sauce, so the flavor goes deep rather than just sitting on the surface. The buffalo sauce itself comes together in minutes on the stovetop — hot sauce, vegan butter, a splash of apple cider vinegar, and a little more garlic powder — and it coats the baked tofu in a glossy, sticky glaze that gets one final blast in the oven to set. Serves four, and honestly that might not be enough once people start reaching for seconds. Pile them next to celery sticks and a vegan ranch or blue cheese dressing for the full game-day spread, no compromises required.
