Making these vegan cauliflower wings is not only easy, but also incredibly fun. This process allows you to unleash your creativity while offering a dish that everyone likes. Follow these simple steps and get ready for an explosion of flavors.
Ingredients according to US and European measurements:
2 heads cauliflower (about 6 1/2 cups cut into wing-sized pieces)
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons onion powder
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup aquafaba (from a can of chickpeas)
3/4 cup Buffalo Franks Red Hot Sauce
2 tbsp maple syrup
1 cup vegan cheese sauce
2 tbsp fresh dill (chopped)
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and line a baking sheet or pizza stone with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Whisk these dry ingredients until well combined.
Then add the aquafaba to the dry mixture and whisk until well combined. The dough should not be too thick.
Make sure the chopped cauliflower is thoroughly dry. Brush them with the dough until well covered.
Arrange the breaded cauliflower flat on the baking tray lined with baking paper. Make sure the pieces aren’t overloaded to ensure even cooking.
Bake the cauliflower wings in the preheated oven for 22 minutes until crispy and golden brown.
While the wings are cooking, combine the Buffalo Franks Red Hot Sauce and maple syrup in a small bowl. This mix will spice up your wings!
After 22 minutes, remove the tray from the oven. Pour the hot sauce evenly over the cooked cauliflower wings. Gently swirl to coat.
Put the wings back in the oven and bake for another 5 to 8 minutes. For extra crispiness, turn on the grill for the last 2 minutes, making sure they don’t burn.
Serve your addictive and spicy vegan cauliflower wings warm. Pair them with a vegan cheese sauce and fresh celery sticks for a complete experience. Enjoy!
