I love making cauliflower “wings” because they are such a departure from typical ways that cauliflower is served.
Ingredients
1 head cauliflower, cut into florets
1 Tbsp garlic powder
1 Tbsp smoked paprika
1 tsp chili powder
½ cup cornstarch, arrowroot powder or flour *optional
2 Tbsp oil
2 cups crunchy peanut butter
1 shallot, minced
2 Tbsp rice vinegar
1 Tbsp mirin
2 tsp agave
2 tsp toasted sesame oil
1 tsp soy sauce or liquid aminos
½ cup roasted peanuts, crushed
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375 F and line a baking sheet with foil.
Add cauliflower florets to a large bowl and toss with spices, starch and oil until fully coated.
Pour onto the baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes or until crispy. Resist the urge to move the florets around too much. If they stick to the foil once you’ve removed them from the oven, wait 10 minutes then take them off easily by peeling florets back from foil as you lift them off of the pan.
While cauliflower is baking, make peanut sauce by combining peanut butter with shallot, rice vinegar, mirin, agave, toasted sesame oil and soy sauce in a bowl. Top with crushed roasted peanuts and dip florets in sauce to serve.
Notes
While the cornstarch is optional, it really helps to give these "wings" a breaded feel, so include it if you can and they'll come out of the oven crunchy!
