Lovely crispy, tasty and dare I say healthy? 'wings'. Paired with that dipping sauce they are an absolute treat.

First time making wings in the air fryer. I'll call this a success.

Now, this is a snack for two (or one if you're really hungry). Not really a meal. Might be something to double up and roll out if you've a few friends round though.

Ingredients:

For the Spice Blend

50g granulated garlic 

50g granulated onion 

2 tablespoons dried parsley 

2 tablespoons dried oregano 

2 tablespoons paprika 

1 teaspoon white pepper 

For the 'wings'

100g chickpea flour 

2 teaspoons Spice Blend 

3 tablespoons Hot Sauce, divided (I used Franks)

2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice, divided 

125ml unsweetened plain plant-based milk 

Bag of pre-prepared Broccoli and Cauli florets

1 tablespoon pure maple syrup 

Method:

For the Spice Blend:

In an airtight container, combine the granulated garlic, granulated onion, parsley, oregano, paprika, and pepper. Shake until well combined. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 year.

For the 'wings':

In a large bowl, whisk together the chickpea flour, spice blend, 2 tablespoons hot sauce, 1 tablespoon lime juice, and the plant-based milk. 

Add the cauliflower and broccoli to the bowl and use a spatula to toss and coat the veg completely in the batter. Scrape down the sides of the bowl when necessary. 

Place the coated cauliflower in a single layer in the air fryer basket or on the rack. Bake at 190C for 15 minutes, or until the coating is lightly browned and crispy. Shake up the basket or turn the cauliflower over halfway through cooking. (All air fryers vary so you may need longer than this, just cook until you're happy)

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix together the remaining 1 tablespoon hot sauce, the remaining 1 tablespoon lime juice, and the maple syrup until well combined.

After the cauliflower is done cooking, while it’s still hot, either drizzle the sauce over it or use the sauce as a dip.
