Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large cauliflower head
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup BBQ sauce
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets, making sure they are as uniform as possible for even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, unsweetened almond milk, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until a smooth batter forms.
Dip each cauliflower floret into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated, and let the excess drip off before placing it onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the cauliflower in the preheated oven for 20 minutes until the batter is set and starting to brown.
While the cauliflower is baking, prepare the BBQ glaze by mixing the BBQ sauce with maple syrup in a small bowl.
After 20 minutes, remove the baking sheet from the oven and brush the BBQ maple glaze onto each cauliflower wing.
Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, until the cauliflower is tender and the glaze is sticky and caramelized.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Serve the Vegan BBQ Wings warm, with extra BBQ sauce on the side if desired.
