Ingredients

• Cauliflower - 1 medium head (about 600g)
• Almond flour - 1/2 cup (50g)
• Cornstarch - 1/4 cup (30g)
• Garlic powder - 1 teaspoon
• Onion powder - 1 teaspoon
• Smoked paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Water - 3/4 cup (180ml)

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Remove the leaves from the cauliflower and cut it into bite-sized florets.
3. In a large bowl, mix together the almond flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
4. Gradually add water to the dry mixture, stirring until a smooth batter forms.
5. Dip each cauliflower floret into the batter, ensuring they are fully coated, and then place them onto the prepared baking sheet.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden and crispy.
7. Remove the cauliflower from the oven and brush or toss with BBQ sauce to coat evenly.
8. Return the coated cauliflower wings to the oven and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes until the sauce is heated through and slightly caramelized.
