Ingredients
  

  • 1 large head of cauliflower cut into bite-sized florets
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour or a gluten-free alternative
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions
 

Blanch the Cauliflower:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
  • Add the cauliflower florets to the boiling water and blanch for 2-3 minutes until they are just tender but still firm.
  • Drain the cauliflower and immediately transfer to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain and pat dry.

Prepare the Batter:

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, water, paprika, oregano, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt. Whisk until you have a smooth batter.

Coat the Cauliflower:

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Dip each cauliflower floret into the batter, making sure it is fully coated. Shake off any excess batter and place the florets on the prepared baking sheet.

Bake the Cauliflower Wings:

  • Drizzle the olive oil over the coated cauliflower florets to help them crisp up while baking.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cauliflower wings are golden brown and crispy. Turn the florets halfway through the baking time to ensure even cooking.

Serve:

  • Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
  • Enjoy your easy-baked cauliflower wings with your favorite dipping sauce!

Notes

For extra flavor, you can toss the baked cauliflower wings in your favorite sauce (like buffalo, barbecue, or a simple spicy mayo) after baking.
Make sure to dry the blanched cauliflower well to ensure the batter sticks properly.
