Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 large cauliflower cut into florets
  • 3/4 cup all purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened plant milk
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp fine sea salt
  • 1/2 cup hot sauce Frank's RedHot
  • 3 tbsp vegan butter melted
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup vegan ranch for serving
  • 2 stalks celery sliced for serving

Method
 

  1. **Prep.** Heat oven to 450F. Set a wire rack over a sheet pan. Lightly grease the rack.
  2. **Batter.** Whisk flour, plant milk, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and salt in a bowl until smooth.
  3. **Dip.** Dip each cauliflower floret into the batter, letting excess drip off. Place on the wire rack.
  4. **Bake.** Bake 22 minutes until batter is set and edges are golden.
  5. **Sauce.** Whisk hot sauce, melted vegan butter, and maple in a large bowl. Toss baked cauliflower in the sauce to coat.
  6. **Serve.** Return sauced wings to the rack. Bake 8 more minutes until sticky and crisp. Serve with vegan ranch and celery.

Notes

Cut cauliflower into bite sized florets, similar to a chicken wing drum. Vegan swap: cauliflower replaces chicken and vegan butter replaces dairy butter in the sauce. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
