With the holidays coming up, I like having friends over to my place for some quality time. I believe happy relationships make the journey of life more beautiful and worth living. And what better way to bond with friends than by sharing meals? Though the physical act of enjoying the food itself lasts for a short time, it is also an unfaltering opportunity to reconnect and create wonderful memories with family and friends that will last forever. I love finding new appetizers to share at gatherings that will blow guests away without having me spend the whole day toiling in the kitchen.

This week I am so excited to share with you this delicious BBQ Cauliflower Wings recipe. If you have never tried them before, you are in for a treat!

These Cauliflower Wings are a healthy yet tasty alternative to traditional wings. Florets of cauliflower baked till golden and crispy, and then tossed in a sweet and flavourful BBQ sauce- they make a delicious crowd-pleasing appetizer without added guilt or calories.

With a delicious crispy texture and sweet barbecue flavor, these vegetarian wings will keep even the meat lovers coming back for more!

Confession time: Every time I make these, I pop a few of them in my mouth as soon as they come out of the oven!

Can these Wings be eaten the next day?
  • These wings are best when eaten fresh out of the oven. If you keep them for long, they will get rid off their signature crunch. However, if you do end up with leftovers, the best way to reheat is by placing them in the oven! Place the wings on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 8 minutes on each side at 200°C to give them some extra crunch!

If you make this recipe, I would love to know how it turned out! Please let me know by leaving a comment below.
