Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 4 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 4 cloves fresh garlic
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy clean-up.
In a large bowl, combine the chicken wings, olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika. Toss the wings until they are evenly coated with the seasoning mix.
Arrange the seasoned chicken wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the wings are golden brown and crispy.
While the wings are baking, prepare the garlic parmesan topping by mincing the fresh garlic and finely chopping the fresh parsley.
In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, warm a tablespoon of olive oil and gently sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the nutritional yeast, chopped parsley, and lemon juice, creating a paste-like consistency.
Once the wings are cooked, remove them from the oven and transfer to a large bowl. Toss them immediately with the garlic parmesan mixture to coat evenly.
Serve the wings hot, garnished with additional chopped parsley if desired.
