FOR THE BUFFALO CAULIFLOWER WINGS:

Cauliflower

1 medium head (1-1/2 to 2 lbs.)

Plant-based milk

2 cups

Arrowroot flour or cornstarch

1/4 cup

Almond flour

1-1/4 cup

Ground cumin

1 tsp

Vegan butter or olive oil

1/3 cup

Honey or maple syrup

2 tsp

Celery and carrot sticks, to serve (optional)

 

FOR THE TAHINI DIP:

Tahini

1/4 cup

Lemon Juice

3 tbsp or to taste

ADF Habanero Chilli Salt

1/2 tsp or to taste

Chopped dill or chives

1 tsp

Warm water

2-3 tbsp or as needed

DIRECTIONS:

 FOR THE BUFFALO CAULIFLOWER WINGS:
  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F/220°C. Lightly spray a large baking tray with cooking spray (or line with parchment paper or silicon mat); set aside.
  2. Break cauliflower into florets and set aside.
  3. Whisk together plant-based milk, arrowroot powder, and ADF Ghost Pepper Salt in a large bowl; add the cauliflower florets and toss gently to coat.
  4. Mix almond flour, ADF Habanero Chilli Salt, and cumin in a medium bowl.
  5. Lightly roll each floret into the almond flour mixture and spread it out on the prepared baking tray.
  6. Bake for about 25-30 minutes, turning halfway through, until cauliflower is golden and crisp at the edges.
  7. In the meantime, whisk ADF Lemon and Garlic Peri-Peri Sauce, melted vegan butter, and honey in a small saucepan and warm over low heat for 2 to 3 minutes.
  8. Brush the cauliflower with the warm sauce and return to the oven for about 10 minutes. Serve immediately alongside the tahini dip and some celery and carrot sticks.

 

FOR THE TAHINI RANCH DIP:
  1. Whisk together all the ingredients in a bowl and set aside.

NOTES:

  • For the cauliflower florets, cut the washed cauliflower head in half, then break into small florets.
  • To cook the cauliflower wings in an air fryer, add the battered florets in batches to the basket in a single layer (do not overcrowd) and cook at 400°F/200°C for 20-25 minutes. Toss with the hot sauce mixture and serve.
  • For crispy cauliflower wings, serve the hot sauce on the side instead of brushing over and baking again.
