How to Make Air Fryer Cauliflower “Chicken” Wings
A super easy plant-based and gluten free recipe.
Ingredients for Cauliflower Chicken Wings
Head Fresh Cauliflower
Oat Flour (or all-purpose flour)
Paprika
Eggs (or melted plant-based butter for vegan version)
Hot Sauce I like Frank’s brand.
Salt
(Optional: ranch dressing or vegan dip for serving)
Instructions
Cut fresh cauliflower head into small/medium bite size florets.
(Leave a little extra stem for easy dipping into sauces!)
Mix oat flour and paprika in medium dry bowl. (add a little salt if preferred)
Also, you can use regular all purpose flour if you chose! Whatever gets the job done. 😉 Well-coated flour on the cauliflower makes the Air Fryer Cauliflower Wings extra crispy.
Whisk together egg and hot sauce in dry bowl. (to make vegan, try plant-based melted butter in place of egg)
Dip each cauliflower floret in wash and then coat with dry mix.
Then dip again back in wash and place back in air fryer at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes.
I found turning them midway through helped cook them evenly for perfect Air Fryer Cauliflower “Chicken” Wings.
I added hot sauce for the extra “hot” kick by tossing in mixing bowl before serving.
There you have it!
An easy healthy alternative to “chicken” wings that gives you health benefits or simple fulfilling your dietary needs.
