It also contains fiber to enhance weight loss and digestion, choline that is essential for learning and memory, and many other important nutrients.

Cauliflower wings are great for a meal or as a snack. And the best part? You can gobble up basically a million of these without any guilt. So whether it’s a super bowl party, or just time for a casual appetizer, these cauliflower wings are perfect! Are they are even better on top of a game day pizza!

Shopping for Cauliflower

Look for firm cauliflower with compact florets and crisp, fresh leaves with no sign of yellowing or wilting. Avoid cauliflower with small brown specks on the florets; they are a sign of aging. The size of the cauliflower head does not affect its quality.

Store fresh cauliflower heads in a loosely closed or perforated plastic bag in the refrigerator. Cauliflower needs air circulation, so don't seal or knot the bag closed. If you bought a plastic-wrapped head of cauliflower from the grocery store, just loosen up the knot. When properly stored, cauliflower can last up to three to five days in the fridge.

      3. Dip the cauliflower pieces into the batter so they are fully coated, then place them on the lined pan.

      4. Bake for 15 minutes.

      5. Take the pan out of the oven and drizzle the cauliflower “wings” with Franks Red Hot sauce (or your favorite hot sauce). Bake for another 10 minutes.
