Buffalo Cauliflower Wings
Despite Buffalo cauliflower wings being a common sight on various restaurant menus, you can experiment with different versions of sauces. In fact, all the sauces typically used with chicken wings pair well with cauliflower wings. My favorite BBQ sauce and a little garlic mayo make this innocent vegetable irresistible without overwhelming the taste buds.
1/2 head of cauliflower
2 eggs
150 g almond flour
1 tbsp cornstarch or potato starch
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp smoked paprika
Salt and pepper, to taste
BBQ sauce, to taste
Sliced green onions, to taste
Garlic mayonnaise
Start by cutting the cauliflower into bite-sized pieces.
Prepare two bowls for the coating process. In the first bowl, mix together the almond flour, cornstarch, onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
In the second bowl, whisk the eggs with a fork and season lightly with salt and pepper.
Preheat the air fryer to 180°C .
Dip each cauliflower piece into the egg mixture, ensuring the egg coats all surfaces of the cauliflower. Then, dip the cauliflower into the flour mixture, pressing the flour onto each piece firmly.
Spray the pieces with cooking oil to coat them, then bake for 12-15 minutes. Turn the pieces once while baking to ensure they are golden on all sides.
Once the cauliflower pieces are baked, place them in a bowl with a splash of BBQ sauce and gently stir with a spatula to coat the pieces in the sauce. Serve with a little garlic mayonnaise on top and fresh sliced green onions.
