Cauliflower hot wings

Typical hot wings are made from chicken wings, but this vegan-friendly version uses cauliflower florets dredged in batter and deep-fried. A great idea for a party snack, whether your guests are vegan or not!

Ingredients

  • 1 head cauliflower, cut into bite sized florets
  • 110 g (¾ cup) plain flour
  • 185 ml (¾ cup) soy milk
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • salt and black pepper
  • 45 g (¾ cup) panko breadcrumbs
  • 250 ml (1 cup) spicy barbecue sauce (homemade or store bought)
  • 1 tsp sriracha sauce, optional
  • 2 spring onions, thinly sliced
  • vegan aioli or ranch sauce, to serve

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 180 ˚C. Line a baking tray with baking paper
  2. In a large bowl, place the flour, soy milk, 60 ml (¼ cup) water, garlic and paprika and season with salt and pepper. Stir until well combined.
  3. Place the panko breadcrumbs in a shallow bowl. Dip the cauliflower florets into the batter to coat completely, then coat in the panko breadcrumbs and place on the prepared tray. Bake for 25 minutes or until golden.
  4. Transfer the cooked cauliflower 'wings' to a bowl. Combine the barbecue sauce with the sriracha sauce if using and pour it over the cauliflower. Toss to coat well. Put the coated hot 'wings' back on the lined baking tray and bake for another 20 minutes.
  5. Scatter with spring onion and serve with vegan aioli or vegan ranch sauce.
