Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

1 tbsp olive oil, plus extra for the baking sheet
75g plain flour
1 tbsp paprika
200g low-fat natural yogurt
265g cauliflower florets
25-50ml hot sauce (depending on how much heat you prefer)
2 tsp honey
1 lime, zested and juiced
150g salad leaves
250g lentils, cooked

Steps:

Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Oil and line a baking sheet with non-stick baking parchment. Put the flour, paprika and a big pinch of salt in a bowl and whisk in the yogurt and 50ml water until you have a smooth batter. Toss in the cauliflower florets until coated and spread out in an even layer on the baking sheet.
Bake for 20-25 mins, tossing halfway through, until crisp and golden. Put the hot sauce and 1 tsp of the honey in a pan to heat up, toss the cauliflower in the mixture, put back on the tray and cook for about 5-8 mins more.
Meanwhile, whisk together most of the lime zest and all the juice, the remaining 1 tsp honey and 1 tbsp olive oil in a large bowl, and toss in the salad leaves and lentils. Divide between two plates and top with the cauliflower wings and the remaining lime zest, if you like.
