Cauliflower Wings Food

CAULIFLOWER WINGS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, pepper, and salt. Add milk and whisk until no lumps remain. Dip each cauliflower floret into batter and allow excess to drip off before transferring to prepared baking sheet. Bake until coating begins to brown and cauliflower is completely tender, about 20 minutes. Allow to cool slightly on baking sheet.
• While cauliflower bakes, stir together hot sauce, melted butter, and honey until homogenous. Dip a cooked cauliflower floret in the sauce and turn to coat. Remove to a platter, allowing any excess sauce to drip off, and repeat with remaining florets. Serve with ranch dressing if desired.

HOT CAULIFLOWER WINGS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
• Mix flour, paprika, salt, and pepper together. Add enough almond milk to create a slightly thick, soupy texture.
• Place bread crumbs in a shallow bowl. Dip cauliflower pieces one at a time into the batter, then roll in bread crumbs. Place on the prepared cookie sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until starting to brown, 15 to 20 minutes.
• While 'wings' are baking, melt margarine and whisk together with hot sauce.
• Reduce oven temperature to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Dip 'wings' into the sauce and place back on the cookie sheet; continue baking for 10 to 15 minutes. Serve immediately.

BUFFALO CAULIFLOWER WINGS

Steps:

• For the cauliflower: Fill a large pot with water. Add the bay leaves, granulated garlic, oregano and thyme to the water and bring to a boil. Add the cauliflower pieces and boil until tender but not mushy, about 10 minutes. Drain the cauliflower and set aside.
• Meanwhile, make the batter: Add the flax meal to the hot water in a small bowl and let sit for about 5 minutes.
• In a separate bowl, mix the flour, granulated garlic, oregano, pepper, salt and thyme. Add the oat milk and flax meal mix and whisk until well combined.
• When the cauliflower is cool enough to handle, toss it into the batter.
• Heat a pan for frying over medium-high heat and fill with about an inch of frying oil. Bring to 350 to 375 degrees F.
• Add the battered cauliflower and cook until golden brown. Strain the cauliflower and toss in your favorite hot sauce. Serve with ranch dressing, carrots and celery.
• Enjoy hot!

SPICY CAULIFLOWER WINGS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 250˚ F. Set a rack on a rimmed baking sheet and place in the oven. Whisk the milk, eggs and hot sauce in a medium bowl. Stir together the flour, 1 tablespoon salt and 2 teaspoons black pepper in another medium bowl. In a separate medium heatproof bowl, stir together the melted butter, brown sugar, cayenne, paprika, garlic powder and 1 teaspoon each salt and pepper.
• Fill a medium saucepan halfway with vegetable oil. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 350˚ F. Working in batches of about 8 florets at a time, toss the cauliflower in the flour mixture, then dip in the milk mixture, then dredge again in the flour mixture, allowing the excess to fall off between each step. Fry until deep golden brown, carefully turning as needed, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove the cauliflower with a spider or a slotted spoon and transfer to the baking sheet in the oven; keep warm while you fry the remaining cauliflower.
• When all the cauliflower is fried, carefully ladle about 1 cup of the frying oil into the melted butter mixture and stir. (It will sizzle slightly.) Working in batches, add the fried cauliflower to the hot spiced oil, then remove with a slotted spoon and transfer to a platter. Spoon 2 to 3 more tablespoons of the spiced oil over all the florets. Serve with pickles, hot honey and more hot sauce.

BAKED VEGETARIAN BUFFALO CAULIFLOWER "WINGS"

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450°F.
• Combine the milk, flour, and garlic powder in a bowl and stir until well combined.
• Coat the cauliflower pieces with the flour mixture and place in a shallow baking dish. Bake for 18 minutes.
• While the cauliflower is baking, combine your buffalo sauce and olive oil or margarine in a small bowl.
• Pour the hot sauce mixture over the baked cauliflower and continue baking for an additional 5 to 8 minutes.
• Serve alongside blue cheese or ranch dressing and celery sticks.

CAULIFLOWER BUFFALO WINGS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
• Whisk together the hot sauce, 2 tablespoons grapeseed oil, the cayenne and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a small saucepan. Heat over low heat until ready to coat the cauliflower.
• Heat 1 inch of oil in a large heavy deep skillet over medium-high heat to 375 degrees F.
• Meanwhile, place the arrowroot in a large bowl. Season the arrowroot and cauliflower with salt and black pepper. Working in 3 batches, moisten the cauliflower with a bit of water, dredge in the arrowroot, shaking off the excess, then carefully lower into the oil. Fry the cauliflower, turning occasionally, until cooked through and the crust is golden brown and very crisp, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack set inside a rimmed baking sheet and keep warm in the oven while you fry the remaining cauliflower.
• Transfer the fried cauliflower to a large bowl, add the warmed Buffalo sauce and toss to coat. Serve immediately with celery sticks and ranch dressing, for dipping.
• Whisk together all of the ingredients in a small bowl. Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve right away or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
