Dairy Free Garlic Parmesan Wings
Crispy, garlicky wings that taste indulgent without a single drop of dairy — this recipe is proof you don't have to sacrifice anything to eat the way you need to. The secret to that shatteringly crisp skin is a light coating of baking powder before the wings go into a hot oven, no deep fryer required. While the wings roast, a quick pan sauce comes together with dairy free butter, five cloves of fresh minced garlic, olive oil, and a generous hit of nutritional yeast — which delivers that savory, almost cheesy depth you'd normally get from parmesan. A squeeze of fresh lemon juice at the end brightens the whole sauce and keeps it from feeling heavy. Every wing gets tossed until fully coated, so you get that bold garlic flavor in every single bite. Finished with a scatter of fresh parsley, these are the kind of wings you'd happily serve to anyone at the table, regardless of dietary needs. This recipe makes four servings, so it's perfect for a casual weeknight dinner or a small game-day spread.
