I love cauliflower wings and I think that they are having a  well deserved moment right now.

They are a great alternative to chicken and they make a great starter and side dish.

Baked Cauliflower Wings

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 220°C/450°F
  2. Wash and then cut your cauliflower florets into bite size pieces.
  3. Take a bowl and mix together 1 cup all purpose flour, 2tsp garlic powder, 1tsp onion powder, 1tsp salt and 1 cup milk together to form a batter.If you also want to add 2tsp paprika, do so now.If you want to substitute the 1 cup of milk for 1 cup of water or for a mix of both, then feel free!

    I like to use an almond milk but again, you can change this to suit your tastes.

  4. Cover your roasting tray with some parchment paper.You can use foil but I find that the cauliflower can often stick to this and remove some of your batter which is why I prefer parchment.
  5. Dip your cauliflower florets into the batter, ensuring all surfaces are covered and give them a little shake to remove any excess batter before moving on.If you want, you can leave it here and have a simple batter on your cauliflower, that’s fine, the next step is optional but I personally prefer the taste with the panko breadcrumb.
  6. If you do want to add panko, pour your breadcrumbs into a separate bowl and dip your freshly battered cauliflower pieces into the panko and ensure to cover all surfaces.
  7. Lay each cauliflower piece onto your parchment paper and allow a little space between them.
  8. Place your tray onto the middle shelf and bake for 25/30 minutes.Turn your tray halfway if you feel that it is needed and cook until golden.Remove from the oven and serve with your sauce or dip of choice!

    Enjoy!
