1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp ground cumin
For the garlic dip:

A wholesome twist on classic chicken wings – made entirely without chicken. These crispy bites are made with oyster mushrooms, coated in a fragrant, spiced crust. Instead of frying, they’re air-fried for the perfect crunch without a drop of oil. Delicious as an appetizer, a side dish, or a light main, served with fresh salad and a creamy dip.

Steps

1

Break the oyster mushrooms into smaller pieces. In a bowl, mix the gluten-free flour with the oat milk until smooth. Combine the ground oats with the spices for the coating.

2

Dip each mushroom piece into the flour-milk mixture first, then coat it in the oat-spice mixture.

3

Place the coated "wings" on parchment paper in an air fryer basket.

4

Bake in the air fryer at 180°C (350°F) for 12–15 minutes, flipping occasionally for even cooking.

5

For the garlic dip, combine the rinsed, soaked cashews, zucchini, cloves, dill, lemon, and salt in a blender. Blend until smooth, adding water gradually until you reach the desired consistency.
