Buffalo Cauliflower Wings
Serves 2 to 4
Ingredients:
For the cauliflower:
2 heads of cauliflower
2 eggs
salt + pepper
For the coating:
¾ cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp garlic powder
salt + pepper
For the sauce:
¼ cup buffalo wing sauce (any brand)
2 Tbsp coconut oil, melted
1 Tbsp honey
For pan frying:
1/4 cup olive oil
Directions:
Cut cauliflower into bite size florets. Beat eggs and season with salt and pepper. Dip cauliflower into egg mixture.
In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Dip the egg-covered cauliflower bits in the flour mixture, coating evenly. Set aside.
Whisk wing sauce, coconut oil and honey, and set aside.
In a skillet, heat olive oil on medium heat until hot but not smoking. Shallow fry the coated cauliflower bits until lightly golden and crisp. Flip to ensure all sides cook evenly.
Place on a reserved plate and drizzle sauce over cauliflower (use only enough to season the heat to your preferences).
Serve immediately, or reheat uncovered in the oven.
