# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Coating cabbage in panko turns humble veggies into the ultimate crunchy canvas for your favorite buffalo sauce.
  • It's quick, vegetarian, and messy in all the right ways—you can make it your own with toppings or sauces.
02 -
  • If the cabbage is wet after washing, the coating won't stick—give it time to dry or pat it down more than you think you need to.
  • Brushing the buffalo sauce instead of dunking keeps the cabbage crisp on the outside and saucy on the inside.
03 -
  • Pressing the breadcrumbs in well before baking turns each strip of cabbage into a golden, shattering treat that rivals fried snacks.
  • A quick spritz of oil over the breaded cabbage before baking boosts the crunch to a whole new level.
