Brandi Austin’s Lemon Pepper Wings
Here is what you’ll need:
- 1 head of organic cauliflower
- 1 cup of garbanzo flour
- 1 cup of water
- 2 teaspoons of lemon pepper seasoning
- 1/2 cup of vegan butter
- 1 teaspoon of pink Himalayan salt
- 1 teaspoon of black pepper
- 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 450.
- Prepare the cauliflower by washing and trimming it to the desired shape. Brandi likes to give her cauliflower wings a drumstick look by leaving a bit of the stalk.
- Combine flour, Himalayan salt, black pepper, garlic powder and water in a large mixing bowl. Stir until the ingredients are mixed together thoroughly.
- Dip the cauliflower pieces in the mixture.
- Once the cauliflower has been placed in the mixture arrange each piece on a baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes.
- While the wings are baking melt the vegan butter and lemon pepper seasoning in a small sauce pot over low heat.
- After the cauliflower has been in the oven for 15 minutes, remove the wings and toss them in the lemon pepper sauce.
- Place the wings back into the oven and bake for another 8 minutes.
- Remove the wings from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and a few lemon wedges and serve.
You can add any desired dipping sauces to your lemon pepper wings for an enjoyable Super Bowl treat!
