Kenny Tutt's sweet chilli cauliflower 'wings' with a creamy Boursin drizzle recipe

Perfect for sharing with friends, these sweet chilli cauliflower 'wings' – created by 2018 MasterChef champion Kenny Tutt – are sticky, spicy and incredibly moreish. They're perfect to lay out at your next party, as a delicious snack, or as a vegetarian-friendly dinner party starter. Serve them up buffet-style in a big dish, and don't forget the napkins!

You could also use any leftover cauliflower, reducing the cooking time accordingly.

Kenny says: "These Asian-style cauliflower wings are a tasty alternative to traditional wings. They are baked to perfection with a crispy breadcrumb coating, meaning they are also healthier, but just as delicious.

"Even if your cauliflower is looking a little sad, this is a great way to bring it back to life. The creamy Boursin can be used as a dip or a drizzle and complements the sweet sticky coating perfectly. A fantastic movie night or match day snack."

Step-by-step

  1. Preheat your oven to 230°C/210°C fan/450°F/gas mark 8 and line a cooking tray with baking paper.
  2. Mix the milk, flour, garlic powder, salt and pepper in a mixing bowl until smooth. Then, dip the cauliflower florets one by one into the batter mix, shake off the excess, then dip into the breadcrumbs to give a good coating.
  3. Lay each coated floret in a single layer on the oven tray, drizzle with oil and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden and crispy. Give them a little longer if needed, then remove from the oven and set aside.
  4. While the cauliflower wings are cooking, make the creamy Boursin drizzle by gently heating crumbled Boursin in a saucepan with the milk until it has the consistency of thick pouring cream. Take off the heat and set aside.
  5. In a bowl, whisk all of the glaze ingredients together. After the cauliflower wings have had a few minutes out of the oven to crisp up, place them in a bowl, pour over the sauce and toss well until the wings are fully coated and sticky.
  6. Place the wings on your serving dish and garnish with a generous Boursin drizzle, toasted sesame seeds, spring onions (scallions) and sliced red chillies.
