Lemon pepper cauliflower wings

A fresh take on the buffalo style cauliflower wings that have taken the internet by storm!

These lemon pepper cauliflower wings are vegan and are baked with a crispy breadcrumb coating and then coated in a slightly sweet and spicy lemon pepper sauce.

Every part of these lemon pepper wings is homemade but you could cut a corner here by using a shop-bought lemon pepper seasoning to save on time.

Ingredients:

For the batter:

1 cup plain flour

1 cup milk (I used oat)

1tsp paprika

A generous pinch of black pepper

Salt to taste

Zest of 1/2 lemon

1tsp dried mixed herbs

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1 cauliflower

For the crispy coating:

1/2 cup fine breadcrumbs

1/2 tsp lemon zest

1/2 tsp paprika

1/2 tsp black pepper

For the saucy coating:

2tbsp olive oil

50ml water

A little flour to create a slurry

Pinch of black pepper, garlic powder, herbs and paprika

Juice of 1/2 lemon

Method:

Preheat your oven to 220 degrees celcius (fan).

Mix the batter ingredients together and coat your raw cauliflower florets in it.

Roll the florets in the breadcrumbs and place onto a lined backing tray for 15 minutes.

Combine the sauce ingredients in a pan and bring to a simmer until thick and glossy.

Coat the crispy cauliflower wings in the sauce and place back into the oven for 5 minutes.

Serve with fresh parsley and a wedge of lemon!
