Raise your hand if you used to go to PF Chang’s and the Chinese food restaurant on the regular…

(I’m raising both hands and starring at my mama).

My mom and I used to go to the Chinese buffet after or before shopping, whenever my dad was out of town (ha!) and pretty much go crazy over what was always offered. I loved loved General Tso’s chicken and pretty much anything and everything crispy and deep-fried. Oh and don’t even get me started on my egg roll love affair. Going to do a deconstruct egg roll bowl one of these days.

Let’s make a healthy version of asian food with these maple sesame cauliflower wings..

Lately the asian-flared food has been a serious craving over here. I made these Maple Sesame Glazed Cauliflower Wings after hearing someone talk about chicken lettuce cups from PF Chang’s recently when I was on the train. I immediately had a craving for some and out came these cauliflower wings.

I’m always in awe by how easy it can be to turn some more “indulgent” sounding recipes into something healthier and still make it taste delicious. Like these Maple Sesame Glazed Cauliflower Wings, which you can totally use chicken instead if cauliflower isn’t your think.

First you bake the crunchy coated cauliflower in the oven then toss it into the glaze to get that shiny and glow on top.

The sauce even has no soy in it, which is a key ingredient in most asian recipes. Instead I use coconut aminos (I love cooking with this) and a few other unexpected ingredients like Bonafide Provisions Organic Chicken Bone Broth. You can really use any of their broths for this but I always have the chicken on hand. I use this just like you would water or veggie broth in recipes. It’s packed with nutrients and so much flavor (more on my bone broth love affair here).

Hope you guys love this recipe as much a I do. Let me know what you think!
