For those of you who may not know, we live in Atlanta, Ga. Home of the lemon pepper wet wing. These Lemon Pepper Cauliflower wing are our meat-free take on the classic Lemon Pepper Wet wings Atlanta is known for.
The cauliflower’s neutral taste makes it perfect to take on the full favors of the sour lemon, pepper and the smoky sweet flavors of maple syrup for a perfect zesty tangy glaze.
The batter is light and fluffy with a slightly crispy crunch to it.
You’ll never miss the chicken, we promise. These cauliflower bites have a tangy sweet heat that will leave you wanting more.
These lemon pepper cauliflower wings are beautiful to look at; but more importantly are a symphony of sweet and sour in your mouth.
We are in the test kitchen working on the perfect air-fryer version of this lemon pepper cauliflower wings recipe.
