This recipe is a crowd favorite and can fool even adults into thinking these are actually chicken wings. As it bakes, the cauliflower develops a crispy and chewy texture that is beyond delicious.
You will need:
- 1 head of cauliflower -
1/2 cup milk of choice
- 1/2 cup water -
3/4 cup flour
- 2 tsp garlic powder -
2 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp cumin -
1 tsp of paprika
- 1/4 tsp sea salt -
1/4 tsp ground pepper
-1 tbsp butter or margarine
- 1 cup hot sauce, barbecue sauce, or a mixture of the two
To begin, preheat your oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Cut cauliflower into
florets or bite sized pieces. In a medium sized bowl, combine flour, milk,
water, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cumin, salt and pepper. Whisk
until there are no more lumps. Place cauliflower florets into the bowl and coat
with the mixture. Place the coated florets onto a baking tray lined with
parchment paper (or at least a greased pan), to prevent sticking. Put the pan
into the oven and bake for 25 minutes, flipping halfway.
While the florets are baking, prepare your hot sauce. Melt one tablespoon
of butter in the microwave or over the stove and add your hot sauce/barbecue
sauce. Use the appropriate mixture of the sauce based upon your spice
tolerance. For kids with a lower spice tolerance, I found it works well to use mostly barbecue sauce with 1 T of hot sauce.
Once the florets are ready from their first round of baking, remove them
from the oven and coat them with the hot sauce mixture. Then, place them in the
oven once again for another 25 minutes, flipping halfway. Once the 25 minutes
are up, remove them from the oven and let cool before serving.
