Baked Cauliflower Wings!

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.

There is so much that can be done to cauliflower with the addition of just a few simple steps and I want to help you get started on that journey when it comes to making cauliflower wings!

Whether you want them battered or, my preference, covered in a panko breadcrumb, either before cooking in a hot sauce or just dipping in some sour cream or ranch, this easy baked cauliflower recipe will help you make the most delicious wings!

Overview

Makes: 1-2 servings
Prep time: 10 mins
Cook time: 30 mins
Total time: 40 mins

Ingredients

• 1 Large cauliflower head (approx 2lbs)
• 1 Cup all purpose flour
• 1 Cup milk
• 2tsp Garlic powder
• 1tsp Onion powder
• 1tsp SaltOptional
  • 150g Panko breadcrumbs (approx 3 cups)
  • 2tsp Paprika

Utensils

• A couple of bowls
• Parchment paper
• Roasting tray

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!
