Buffalo Cauliflower "wings"


I love wings, I mean really who doesn't. This was one of my partner's and I favorite meal, so when I decided to go plant based I had to figure out how to substitute this delicious meal for a meat free version. 

I took to Pinterest and found the recipe that I used. Original recipe here from hot for food. They also have recipes for different flavors. 

I doubled the recipe and added Cayenne pepper to the batter mix to add a bit of zing I found that it also made flavoring the "wings" unnecessary.

This recipe can serve 4-8 people.

Ingredients

2 heads of cauliflower

Batter:
2 cups flour
4 tsp onion powder
4 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp cumin
2 tsp paprika
1 tsp Cayenne 
1 cup unsweetened non-dairy milk (I use silk almond or cashew)
2 cups of water.

Sauce:
1 1/2 cups BBQ sauce
1 cup hot sauce

Preheat oven to 450f.

Cut cauliflower into pieces (about the size of actual wings).

In a bowl stir all the dry ingredients together. Then slowly mix in the milk and water. ( until batter is still thick enough to stick to the cauliflower)

Dip cauliflower in batter. Put on parchment paper lined baking sheet.

Put in oven for 25 minutes or until they start to brown. Flip half way through.

While waiting mix. BBQ sauce and hot sauce together.

Once out of the oven coat with sauce and our in the oven for another 25 minutes.


Take out of oven, let cool for 5 minutes and dig in.
