Ingredients

  • 1 medium head of cauliflower chopped into bite-sized florets
  • 2 tbsp Sriracha or your choice of hot sauce
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp soy sauce
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder

Peanut Sauce

  • 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 tbsp water
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 1/4 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/2 tsp soy sauce
  • 1/2 tsp maple syrup

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 450°F and line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or tin foil.
  • In a small bowl whisk together the Sriracha, rice vinegar, soy sauce and garlic powder until combined.
  • In a large bowl toss together the cauliflower florets and the sauce until all pieces are coated. 
  • Spread out the cauliflower evenly on the baking sheet and cook for 15 minutes. Remove the cauliflower from the oven, flip over the florets and then cook for another 5-10 minutes, or until they reach your desired crispiness.
  • In the meantime, whisk together the peanut sauce ingredients in a small bowl.
  • Serve the warm cauliflower wings alongside the dip and enjoy!

Notes

Substitutions & Tips:

  • Instead of using Sriracha, use your favourite or preferred hot sauce. 
  • Make it peanut-free: use almond butter, tahini or a preferred nut or seed butter.
  • Make it spicier: increase the amount of Sriracha by 1/2-1 tbsp. This may require the wings to be baked for an extra minute or two, depending on how crispy you want them.
  • Make it less spicy: reduce the amount of Sriracha by 1/2-1 tbsp. Whatever amount of Sriracha you remove, add this amount of avocado or vegetable oil.
  • Make it a gluten-free dish by using gluten-free soy sauce.
