Makes 15 servings
300 calories / 12F / 22C / 24P / per serving 

Wings:
2 lbs. wings or drumettes
1 cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
1 lemon, zested
1 Tbs. baking powder
1 Tbs. garlic powder
1 Tbs. fresh parsley, finely chopped
1 tsp. onion powder
1 tsp. salt, kosher
½ tsp. pepper

Veggies & Dip:
3 lbs. carrots
3 lbs. cucumbers
2 lbs. cauliflower
2 lbs. broccoli
2 lbs. celery
1 ½ cups low-fat cottage cheese
½ cup nonfat, plain Greek yogurt
3 Tbs. Ranch seasoning powder (or one full packet)

1. Pat the chicken pieces dry with a paper towel.
2. Combine Parmesan cheese, lemon zest, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, fresh parsley, salt and pepper. Mix to combine.
3. Coat chicken with seasoning mixture and cook using preferred cooking method.

Oven Instructions: Preheat oven to 425 degrees with the oven rack in the middle-upper position. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire baking rack inside the baking sheet. Spray the rack with olive oil spray. Arrange wings in a single layer on a wire rack. Spray wings with olive oil spray and bake for 40 minutes, flipping wings and spraying once again with olive oil spray.

Air Fryer Instructions: Preheat air fryer to 400 degrees. Cooking the chicken in batches, place chicken wings in the bottom of the air fryer basket in a single layer and spray with olive oil spray. Set the air fryer to 400 degrees and cook for 24 minutes flipping the wings halfway through. While making other batches, place wings on a sheet pan in a 180 degree oven to keep warm.

4. While the chicken is cooking, cut and prepare the carrots, celery, cucumbers, broccoli, and cauliflower.
5. Add cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, and Ranch seasoning to a high-powered blender.  Blend on high until smooth and creamy. Add ¼ cup water if the mixture is too thick.
6. Once chicken is done baking, serve with cut vegetables and dip. Enjoy!

Sprinkle with sea salt and 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast (this will give it a cheesy flavor and added nutritional value). Bake for 15-20 minutes. Enjoy on the side of your pinwheels.
