Buffalo Cauliflower wings
Cauliflower is neutral in taste, meaning it is easy to mimic anything you desire, even finger licking buffalo wings. It has a meaty texture, which has proven to be a great plant-based alternative to meat, full of flavour & bite. Buffalo cauliflower wings are fun to eat and look like nuggets! Simply, mix up some corn starch and mild spices like garlic & onion powder, salt and pepper, bake them up until golden and serve them with your favourite sauce.
