I recently went to a restaurant that served these and I thought they were so exciting. Regular chicken wings usually pack around 100 calories, each! And not to mention half of those calories come from fat. The process of baking the cauliflower in whole wheat batter softens the pieces making the consistency smooth and juicy just like chicken wings! Serve them with a side of blue cheese yogurt dressing (recipe below) and some celery of course!
whole wheat cauliflower "un-wings"
1 1/2 cups cold water (just 1 cup if you use white flour)
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 head of cauliflower, cut in pieces
3/4 cups Franks Hot Sauce
1 tablespoon melted butter
Mix together water, flour, and garlic powder. Dip the cauliflower florets in the batter and place onto a lightly greased pan (I sprayed olive oil on my pan). Bake for 20 minutes, remove from the oven and drizzle the hot sauce/butter combination over the top. Bake for an additional 5 minutes, remove and enjoy!
blue cheese greek yogurt dressing
1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese
7 ounces fat free greek yogurt
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 teaspoons white wine vinegar
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
crushed black pepper, to taste
Combine all ingredients well in a bowl. Yields 1 cup of dressing.
