Step 1
Preheat the oven to 200ºC and line a baking tray with greaseproof paper.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, combine the smoked paprika, chilli powder, onion granules, garlic granules, cumin and mustard powder. Add the flour, salt and pepper and pour in the coconut milk alternative. Whisk until smooth and combined.
Step 3
Dip each cauliflower floret into the batter allowing any excess to drip off. Lay onto the lined baking tray. Pop into the oven for 10 minutes.
Step 4
After 10 minutes, spray the cauliflower with low calorie cooking spray and sprinkle over the panko breadcrumbs. Cook for another 10 minutes.
Step 5
In a small bowl, combine the hot sauce ingredients. When the cauliflower has cooked, dip the florets into the hot sauce and move around to coat. Place the florets back onto the baking tray, coating in any loose panko breadcrumbs on the tray. Cook for another 10 minutes.
Step 6
While the cauliflower finishes cooking, make the dip. Mix the yoghurt and Sriracha together. Serve the cauliflower wings with the dip.

Could you use broccoli instead of cauliflower?

Hi Lorraine, we haven’t tested this recipe using broccoli, so can’t guarantee the result, but it should work fine. Enjoy the recipe!
