EVER WONDERED WHY ARE THEY CALLED BUFFALO CAULIFLOWER WINGS?

Why would you really call something Buffalo Wings, when the recipe doesn’t even have chicken? I guess the idea was pretty simple. Instead of Chicken Wings coated in Franks Buffalo Sauce, we are dunking cauliflower in buffalo sauce.

My meat lover friends have also confirmed that these spicy buffalo bites taste just the same as chicken wings.

I can’t ask for any more 🙂

For BBQ Cauliflower, use the same ingredients as the buffalo cauliflower recipe, except use BBQ SAUCE for glazing.

Preheat the Airfryer at 400 degrees / 200 C.

First, the Cauliflower are dipped in a flour water slurry and air fried for 10 minutes. Remember to turn the cauliflower florets at half way through.

At 5 minutes interval, give it a good shake. Remove the fried cauliflower wings and set it aside. Repeat the process with the second batch which takes approximately 20 minutes.

IS COOKING WITH AN AIR FRYER HEALTHY FOR YOU?

Cooking with an Air fryer offers no compromise on taste. Most dishes that requires deep frying can be prepared in an air-fryer. This gadget works by circulating hot air around the food to produce crunchy crispy texture with minimal oil or no oil. Air fried food are a healthy alternative to deep fried food, all thanks to the lower amount of calories and fat.

If you are watching your waistline and working towards weight loss, air fryer can be one of your best friends.

Notes

Notes Cauliflower wings should not be touching each other while air frying. This can cause them to stick to each other. If you would like to make Cauliflower wings without flour, just fry the first batch with the seasoning until crispy and then coat it with buffalo hot sauce. If you enjoy it milder, reduce the sauce by 1 Tsp and if you enjoy it spicer, add another 2 tbsp of the hot sauce. ** If you would like to leave out maple syrup for ketogenic diet you can use a Stevia sweetener .
