How to Prepare Spicy Crunchy Cauliflower Nuggets [Vegan]

Wash the cauliflower, chop it into large florets, and add to a pot of boiling water. Let cook until "al dente," about 5 minutes.
Mix the flour with water and add 1/3 teaspoon paprika. Dice half of a jalapeño pepper and add it to the flour mixture.
Once the cauliflower is cool enough to handle, chop each large floret into about 3 pieces. Season with smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper.
In a bowl, combine peanut flour with bread crumbs. Roll each cauliflower floret in the mixture until thoroughly coated.
Preheat the oven to 390°F.
Set up a plate and cover with a paper towel. Add enough oil to cover the bottom of a skillet and fry each floret until golden brown, then place onto the paper towel to drain excess oil.
Transfer the cauliflower to a baking sheet and bake in the oven for 10 minutes.
Make the sauce by combining all ingredients in a blender until smooth.
Serve the cauliflower wings warm with sauce on the side.
