Ingredients
  

1 medium head of cauliflower, cut into bite-sized florets

1 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour)

1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of your choice)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and black pepper, to taste

2 cups breadcrumbs (panko for extra crunch)

For the Peach BBQ Sauce:

1 cup ripe peaches, chopped (fresh or canned)

1/2 cup ketchup

1/4 cup apple cider vinegar

2 tablespoons brown sugar

1 tablespoon soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)

1 teaspoon yellow mustard

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)

Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions
 

Prepare the Cauliflower: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, combine flour, almond milk, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until smooth. Dredge each cauliflower floret in the batter, ensuring they're well-coated.

    Bread the Cauliflower: Roll the batter-coated florets in breadcrumbs until fully covered. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are spaced apart for even cooking.

      Bake the Wings: Bake the cauliflower in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.

        Make the Peach BBQ Sauce: While the cauliflower is baking, prepare the Peach BBQ sauce. In a medium saucepan, combine the chopped peaches, ketchup, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, soy sauce, yellow mustard, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the peaches are soft (about 10-15 minutes).

          Blend the Sauce: Remove the sauce from heat and let it cool slightly. Transfer it to a blender and puree until smooth. Return to the saucepan and simmer on low for an additional 5 minutes to thicken.

            Glaze the Wings: Once the cauliflower wings are crispy and the sauce is ready, remove the cauliflower from the oven. Toss the baked cauliflower in the Peach BBQ sauce until well-coated.

              Serve: Serve the Sweet & Spicy Peach BBQ Cauliflower Wings hot, garnished with fresh peach slices or chopped green onions, and enjoy them with your favorite dipping sauce!
