Typical appetizers aren’t exactly suitable for the plant-based among us. Think chicken wings, loaded nachos, and sliders. If you’re looking for an eco-friendlier swap to traditional options, you’re in luck because we’re preaching the gospel of cauliflower wings this week (and forevermore).

When cooked up just right (in this case, that means air-fried) and coated in an appropriate sauce, cauliflower florets provide a delicious chicken alternative that everyone can enjoy, which is a refreshing concept.

For the perfect faux wing, start with this viral recipe from creator Faiths Fresh.
