The idea of using cauliflower as a substitute for meat in dishes is a relatively new concept, born out of the rise in vegetarian and vegan diets. The exact origin of cauliflower wings is unclear, but they have become a mainstay in vegan cuisine.

One day, while craving for some sticky wings, I realized I had no chicken at home. All I had was a cauliflower. I was skeptical, but I tried making wings out of them, and boy, was I surprised! The outcome was amazing, and it became a regular dish in my vegan journey.

Ingredients

1 pieces Cauliflower
1 cups Flour
1 cups Water
1 teaspoons Garlic Powder
1/2 cups Maple Syrup
1/4 cups Sriracha
2 teaspoons Soy Sauce

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
Cut the cauliflower into florets, roughly the size of wings.
In a bowl, mix together the flour, water, and garlic powder until there are no lumps.
Toss the cauliflower wings in the batter, making sure they're fully coated, and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
While the cauliflower is baking, whisk together the maple syrup, sriracha, and soy sauce in a small saucepan over medium heat.
Once the cauliflower is done, gently toss them in the glaze and bake for another 10 minutes or until crispy.
Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce!
