Ingredients

For the wings

1 10oz-12oz bag Cauliflower florets, or 1 large head cauliflower, broken into florets
½ cup Plant Strong Seven Grain Pancake & Waffle Mix
1 tsp garlic powder
½ tsp onion powder
¼ tsp black pepper
¼ tsp smoked paprika
½ cup + 1 tbsp Plant Strong Unsweetened Almond Milk (or plant milk of choice)

For the buffalo sauce

½ cup hot sauce (like Frank’s Red Hot, but Cholula will also work)
¼ cup broth
¼ cup raw cashews
2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp onion powder

For the dipping sauce

3/4 cup plant milk yogurt
2-3 tbsp Plant Strong Unsweetened Almond Milk
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 ½ tsp garlic powder or 1 clove garlic, grated
1 ½ tsp onion powder
¼ tsp salt
¼ tsp pepper
1 tbsp fresh dill
½ lemon, juiced
Optional garnish: chopped chives

Directions

Preheat air fryer to 400℉. Line air fryer basket with parchment paper.
In a bowl, whisk together pancake mix, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and smoked paprika.
Add the plant milk and whisk to combine until batter is smooth and no clumps remain. If batter is still too thick, add plant milk 1 tbsp at a time.
Dip cauliflower florets into batter and place on baking sheet, making sure to let any excess batter fall off.
Air fry for 12-15 minutes, or until batter has hardened and started to crisp up.
While your cauliflower is air frying, combine all ingredients for the buffalo sauce in a blender and blend until smooth. If you don’t have a high speed blender, soak your cashews for 5 minutes in boiling water before blending.
Brush wings with buffalo sauce and return back to the air fryer or oven for about 20 minutes, or until wings are crisp.
While your wings are crisping up, whisk together all ingredients for your dipping sauce.
Serve wings immediately after done alongside dipping sauce and extra buffalo sauce. Option to garnish with chives.
