Method

1
Cut the leaves off the cauliflower. Cut each head down the middle, then cut each half into quarters.
2
Gently break each quarter into florets and add them to a large bowl.
3
Add the tomatoes, hemp seeds, fresh turmeric, garlic, jalapeño, Thai chili if you want extra heat, apple cider vinegar, a small handful of fresh oregano leaves and the dates to a high-speed blender. Blend until completely smooth.
4
Pour the buffalo sauce over the florets and toss until every piece is coated. Let them marinate for 20 to 30 minutes.
5
Line your dehydrator trays with silicone dehydrator sheets or parchment paper.
6
Spread the coated florets on the trays. Dehydrate at 105°F for 4 to 5 hours, until the wings are tender and the sauce has set.
7
Chop the parsley and sprinkle it over the wings.
8
Serve the wings with the celery sticks and hempseed ranch for dipping.

Storage

Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Good to know

Leave the jalapeño seeds in for more heat, or take them out for a milder sauce.
No dehydrator? Bake on the lowest oven setting with the door slightly open until tender. They won't be raw, but they'll still be tasty.
Wear gloves when handling fresh turmeric, because it stains hands and boards.
