Cauliflower Wings

Method

Cauliflower Wings

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cauliflower

    Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Wash and cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets.

  2. 2

    Make the Batter

    In a large bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and salt. Gradually whisk in the water until you form a smooth batter.

  3. 3

    Coat the Cauliflower

    Dip each cauliflower floret into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated. Let any excess batter drip off.

  4. 4

    Bake the Cauliflower

    Place the coated cauliflower florets on a parchment-lined baking sheet in a single layer. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden and crispy.

Buffalo Sauce

  1. 5

    Prepare the Buffalo Sauce

    In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Once melted, stir in the hot sauce, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, and salt. Whisk until well combined and heated through.

  2. 6

    Toss the Wings

    Once the cauliflower is baked, remove it from the oven and place it in a large bowl. Pour the buffalo sauce over the cauliflower and toss until evenly coated.

Serving

  1. 7

    Serve

    Transfer the buffalo cauliflower wings to a serving platter and enjoy hot. Optionally serve with ranch or blue cheese dressing on the side.
