Recipe: Vegan Buffalo Cauliflower Wings

Ingredients:

1 head cauliflower
1/2 cup coconut milk
1.5 cups cashews, soaked at least 4 hours and up to overnight
1 Tbsp nutritional yeast
1 Tbsp tomato paste
1/4 tsp cayenne powder
1/2 tsp paprika powder
1/2 tsp sea salt
Olive oil
Fresh parsley, roughly chopped

Method:

1. Remove stalk and chop cauliflower into florets about 1-2″ in size.

2. Transfer them to a baking tray and drizzle with olive oil (about 1 Tbsp). Add a pinch of salt and bake at 395 F/200 C for 30-35 minutes.

3. Make your cashew buffalo sauce. Add coconut milk, cashews, and about 1 Tbsp of cashew soaking liquid to the blender. Add nutritional yeast, tomato paste, salt, cayenne and paprika. Adjust seasoning after you blend if it needs more salt or heat.

4. Place baked cauliflower into a bowl. Leave oven on. Coat cauliflower with the sauce. Place back into the oven for 10 minutes and then let cool to room temp before serving. Top with fresh parsley and serve with more of your cashew sauce to dip.
