VEGAN NASHVILLE HOT CAULIFLOWER WINGS

Steps:

• Chop the cauliflower and set aside. Line a baking dish with parchment. Preheat the oven to 425 deg F ( 220 C).
• Make the batter by whisking all the ingredients under batter. The batter will start to thicken after half a minute, so work quickly.
• Add cauliflower florets and toss well to coat. It will take a minute for the thick batter to coat the florets well. Some uncoated cauliflower edges are ok. Drop on parchment lined baking dish. Spray oil on top. (You can also sprinkle 2-3 tbsp breadcrumbs on the florets in the dish for extra crispyness).
• Bake at 425 deg F for 25 mins (35 mins if serving the bites with hot sauce on the side) . In the meantime, make the nashville hot sauce mixture in large bowl. You can double this sauce easily for larger cauliflower.
• Remove the dish from the oven and cool for 5 mins. Add the baked cauliflower to the sauce bowl and gently toss to coat.
• Drop back into the baking dish and bake for 15 mins or longer at 400 deg F. Serve with cooling dips such as vegan ranch and some pickles.

CAULIFLOWER NASHVILLE HOT "CHICKEN"

Steps:

• Chop up the head of cauliflower into bite sized pieces. Set aside.
• In a wide, shallow bowl, whisk together the flax eggs, almond milk, and hot sauce.
• In a separate shallow bowl, whisk together the flour, corn starch, baking powder, and salt.
• Heat your oil in a heavy bottomed pot over medium high heat. To test that it's ready, drop a bit of the batter (wet ingredients mixed with the dry ingredients) into the pot. Once it floats to the top, the oil is ready.
• Prepare a place for the fried cauliflower to rest after it comes out of the oil. I've found the best results by places a wire rack over top of a baking sheet and then placing a paper towel under the rack to collect some of the oil.
• Working in batches, dip the cauliflower pieces in the wet mixture, then dip each piece fully in the flour mixture. I do this TWO times per piece of cauliflower but you can also just do once.
• Gently place the cauliflower into the pot in a single layer. Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side. It's done when the breading just begins to brown. While one batch is frying, prepare the next batch.
• Place the finished pieces on the wire rack to cool down.
• Once all of the cauliflower is fried, prepare the spice mix by whisking together the spices and the melted butter in a small bowl. Place the cauliflower in a large bowl and drizzly the butter mixture over top. Toss to combine.
• Serve the Hot Cauliflower on the bread and topped with the pickle slices.
• ENJOY!! (and have a good drink nearby!!)
