  • 1 tsp fresh grated ginger
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
For the Yogurt Dip:
  • 1.75 cups Greek yogurt
  • 1.5 tbsp adobo sauce from chipotle peppers
  • 0.5 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 0.5 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp dried dill
  • 1 tsp chives fresh or dried
  • 1 tsp parsley dried
  • 0.25 tsp salt
  • 2 to 3 tbsp water to adjust the consistency of the dip as needed

Equipment

  • Baking Sheet
  • Parchment Paper
  • Medium Saucepan
  • Whisk
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

Directions:
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) for that crispy texture.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cauliflower florets with the eggs, ensuring each piece is well-coated.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix the breadcrumbs and spices until evenly combined.
  4. Toss the egg-coated cauliflower in the breadcrumb mixture and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  5. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through.
  6. Prepare the sticky sauce by combining honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger in a saucepan over medium heat.
  7. Mix cornstarch with a tablespoon of water to create a slurry, add to the saucepan, and simmer until thickened, about 2-3 minutes.
  8. Toss the baked wings in the sticky sauce until well coated.
  9. Prepare the yogurt dip by mixing all dip ingredients together, adding water to adjust consistency.
  10. Serve the wings with the yogurt dip on the side and enjoy!

Notes

  • For extra crunch, do not overcrowd the baking sheet.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) to regain crispiness.
