Sticky Chipotle Cauliflower Wings
- Yield: 4 servings
- Prep Time: 20 min
- Cooking Time: 20 min
Ingredients
- BAKED CAULIFLOWER
- 1 head cauliflower
- ½ C flour
- ½ C water
- 1 Tbsp vegetable oil
- STICKY CHIPOTLE SAUCE
- ½ C water
- ¼ C tomato paste
- ¼ C honey
- ½ tsp apple cider vinegar
- ¾ tsp chipotle chili powder
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ¼ tsp paprika
- ⅛ tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp corn starch
Preparation
- Preheat oven to 450º F. Cut up cauliflower into bite-sized pieces then blanch them. Do this by adding them to a pot of cold water. Over high heat bring the water up to a boil and then immediately drain the cauliflower and run them under very cold water. If your tap water doesn't get painfully cold, place the hot cauliflower into a large bowl of ice water. Once cooled, place your cauliflower onto an absorbent paper towel or dish towel to dry.
- n a medium-sized bowl, mix together flour, water, and oil and then toss the cauliflower into the bowl until all of the pieces are coated. Place the cauliflower onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake at 450º F for 18-20 minutes, or until the batter begins to turn golden brown.
- While the cauliflower is baking, combine all of the sticky chipotle sauce ingredients, except for the apple cider vinegar, together in a sauce pan. Bring the sauce to a simmer over medium-high heat and then simmer for 1 minute while stirring frequently. Then remove from the heat and mix in the apple cider vinegar. Set aside until the cauliflower is done baking.
- Once the cauliflower is done, keep it on the parchment-lined cookie sheet, coat it in the sticky chipotle sauce, and then place it back into the oven and bake for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce is hot, bubbling, and sticky. Serve immediately. I recommend serving with my Avocado Lime Yogurt Dipping Dressing.
