Serving Suggestions

• Simple Cheese Board
• Other Cauliflower Recipes

Tips and Tricks

• The site specifically states to use fresh cauliflower to avoid sogginess that can result from frozen cauliflower.
• It's important to combine the almond milk, almond flour, and spices until smooth for a consistent coating.
• Line a baking pan with parchment paper, which will help prevent sticking and allow for easier cleanup.
• If using an air fryer, place the florets in a single layer and air fry at 375 degrees F for 12-14 minutes until golden, then coat with sauce and air fry for an additional 2-3 minutes.
• Do not recommend reheating in a microwave as it will make the wings soft and soggy. Instead, reheat in an oven at 400 degrees F if needed.
