Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large head Cauliflower
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Cornstarch
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1.5 cups Vegan bread crumbs
- 3 cups Vegetable oil
- 0.5 cup Buffalo sauce
Instructions
Cut the cauliflower into large, bite-sized florets, resembling wing pieces.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Add the unsweetened almond milk to the dry ingredients and whisk until you have a smooth batter.
In a separate shallow dish, place the vegan bread crumbs.
Dip each cauliflower floret into the batter, allowing any excess to drip off, then roll it in the bread crumbs to coat evenly.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or pot over medium-high heat until it reaches approximately 350°F (175°C).
Fry the coated cauliflower florets in batches, avoiding overcrowding the pan, until they are golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes per batch.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the cauliflower from the oil and transfer it to a paper towel-lined plate to drain the excess oil.
In a large bowl, toss the fried cauliflower wing dings with the buffalo sauce until they are well coated.
Serve the vegan crispy fried wing dings hot with your favorite vegan dipping sauce.
