BBQ Cauliflower Wings are not only the best way to enjoy cauliflower but they are a delicious vegetarian, gluten free, vegan, palo and low carb alternative to your classic chicken wings.

Cauliflower Wing Ingredients:
- Cauliflower Florets: Be sure to use fresh cauliflower and not frozen otherwise your wings will be soggy.
- Batter:-Flour: Creates a crispy and golden coating.-Milk: Acts as a binder and adds moisture to the batter.-Spices: (Garlic Powder, Onion Powder, Smoked Paprika, Salt and Pepper) all enhance the batter with a savory taste.-BBQ sauce: We like to use a keto friendly BBQ sauce such as Primal Kitchen, it adds a bold, sweet, smoky and tangy flavor.
Cauliflower Wing Instructions:
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). This high temperature will help achieve a crispy texture.
Prepare the cauliflower: Cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets. Make sure the florets are similar size for even cooking.
Make the batter: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until you have a smooth batter. Adjust the consistency by adding more flour or milk if needed.
Coat the cauliflower: Dip each cauliflower floret into the batter, making sure it is coated well.
Arrange on baking sheet: Place a wire rack on a baking sheet to allow air circulation. Arrange the battered cauliflower on the rack, Make sure florets are not touching each other.
Bake in the oven: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the cauliflower is golden brown and crispy. You can flip them halfway through for even browning.
Heat the BBQ sauce: While the cauliflower is baking, warm the barbecue sauce in a saucepan over low heat. If desired, add extra spices or hot sauce for more flavor.
Coat cauliflower in BBQ sauce: Once the cauliflower is done, transfer it to a large mixing bowl. Pour the warmed barbecue sauce over the cauliflower and toss until each piece is evenly coated.
Serve and Enjoy: Arrange the BBQ cauliflower wings on a serving plate, and optionally garnish with fresh green onion. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!
