I’ve recently fallen in love with cauliflower. I’ve always been more of a broccoli kind of girl, and felt a bit meh about cauliflower. But after realizing how versatile it is, coupled with the amazing nutritional profile it has, I found myself getting down with cauliflower regularly. One cup of cauliflower has a ton of fiber, 77% of the recommended daily intake of vitamin C, along with vitamin K, B6, folate, manganese, magnesium, potassium, and phosphorous. You can use food processed cauliflower as a substitute for rice, roast a whole head of it in the oven and make a cauliflower steak, cut it up and add to stir fry or mixed vegetable dishes, or get down with cauliflower “wings.” I’m not a huge fan of fake meats or vegan processed meat products, so when I tried cauliflower wings I wanted to write a love letter to whoever had this genius idea. You can make these wings and use hot sauce for buffalo wings, or use barbecue sauce if you prefer that flavor. Below’s the recipe I used. It’s very simple and takes little to no time at all. -XO Raw Girl
Ingredients:
1 large head of cauliflower cut into chunky pieces (approx 4 cups))
1/2 cup of Almond, Hemp, Coconut, or any nut milk
1 cup of Tapioca Flour
1/2 Tsp Garlic Powder
1/2 Tsp Onion Powder
1/2 Tsp Salt
Several dashes of Cayenne Pepper (optional if you like extra spicy)
1/2 cup of Hot Sauce or Wing Sauce
2 Tablespoons melted Coconut Oil or Butter (if you are vegetarian)
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 450 F and line baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl mix together dry ingredients: tapioca flower with all preferred seasonings.
- Slowly pour in nut milk and whisk together until batter becomes smooth. If batter too runny add in a bit more of tapioca flour.
- Dip each cauliflower floret into batter and coat completely then place on baking sheet.
- Bake for 20 minutes until the batter has set.
- Mix together the melted coconut oil with the hot sauce or wing sauce, and toss the baked cauliflower into the hot sauce until each one is coated.
- Place back on baking sheet and bake for 10 more minutes.
- If you prefer crispier “wings” broil for 2-3 minutes carefully so you don’t burn them.
Serve & enjoy however you prefer! Add to wraps, salads, or eat as appetizers alone. I made a non-dairy vegan ranch dressing to pair with my wings. Will share recipe soon!
