Cauliflower Wings (Air Fryer)

1/17/2021

My husband got me an air fryer last Christmas and after a week I found myself trying to understand how I survived life without it. It cooks everything faster and without errors. As my new love of this appliance intensifies, my desire to make yummy creations is reciprocated.
My guy is Vegan so I constantly have to figure out how to make Vegan Life interesting and delicious. I am learning that spices are key. After some fine tuning, a quick recipe for Cauliflower Wings was developed.

Ingredients

Ingredients

1 head of cauliflower, cut into florets
1/2 cup milk (Plain Almond Milk)
1/2 cup water
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. onion powder
1 tsp. smoked paprika
1 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
2 Tbsp. butter we used earth balance buttery spread
Your favorite coating sauce! I recommend Honey BBQ or Thai Chili

INSTRUCTIONS

Instructions

In a mixing bowl - combine all dry ingredients (flour, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper) then add liquid ingredients and beat until the batter is a smooth gooey texture.
Add cauliflower florets to batter and evenly coat with mixture.
Coat air fryer basket with cooking spray, then add florets one at a time to the air fryer rack. Be sure to space out florets so none are touching.
Cook at 360 degrees for 15 minutes.
Once cauliflower is done cooking and golden brown in appearance, transfer to a bowl. When ready to serve, cover with sauce, then toss to coat.
