Besides my total love of Mexican and Chinese food, I am pretty obsessed with honey barbecue wings.  So obsessed, in fact, that we had to take a trip about 30 minutes north of where we live so that I could find some and eat some.  The cravings are real people.  Also, have you noticed a trend here?  Hi – I love food.  All kinds of food, and I love sauces!

Roasted Buffalo Cauliflower with Light Ranch Dressing

Now that we got that out of the way, I want to introduce you to a secret weapon.  You might be like me and watching what you are eating.  Well, the Super Bowl is coming up and with it means chicken wings and beer.  Personally, I don’t want to spend the 20 SmartPoints that a small portion of wings would cost me.

Instead of 20 SmartPoints, how about 2 SmartPoints for almost the same effect?  I know what you might be thinking.  Cauliflower doesn’t taste like wings.  I know that, silly.  But cauliflower is zero points – so adding a little bit of wing sauce creates the illusion of eating a chicken wing.  I know you are actually eating said chicken wing, but if I am at a party and want to eat similar things to what others are eating, this recipe is a winner.

And the best part?  It tastes great!  Jeremy tried some of them, and really liked them.  He thought the mild sauce was a bit too spicy, but he’s a weakling.  I couldn’t believe how much like a wing they tasted – and they had a great texture too.

To make these is so easy.  Simply chop up your cauliflower.  In a medium bowl, mix the cauliflower, oil, salt and pepper together.  Place cauliflower on a prepared baking sheet and bake for 20 mins at 425 degrees.  Once the cauliflower is cooked, remove it from the oven and set aside.  Let cool about 2 minutes.  In the same medium bowl you used before, mix the cooked cauliflower and the wing sauce together.  Toss to coat – make sure all the cauliflower gets covered in the sauce.  Serve immediately.

    Wings are one of my weaknesses. I have lots of weaknesses, but wings are totally near the top of that list. I thought these were fantastic and totally worth the 20 minutes it took to put these together – they are so good!

    I LOVE ranch. If only I could make ranch healthy. Too bad that will never happen. 🙁 But these cauliflower are delicious – and the wing sauce tastes so good!
