Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head Cauliflower
- 1 cup Chickpea Flour
- 0.75 cup Water
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
- 0.25 cup Soy Sauce
- 0.25 cup Maple Syrup
- 4 cloves Garlic Cloves
- 1 tablespoon Rice Vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 tablespoon Sesame Seeds
- 2 stalks Green Onions
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut the cauliflower into florets resembling wing-size pieces and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chickpea flour, 0.75 cup of water, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to create a batter.
Dip each cauliflower floret into the batter, allowing excess batter to drip off, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the cauliflower for 20 minutes, then remove from the oven, flip the florets, and bake for an additional 10 minutes until golden and crispy.
While the cauliflower bakes, prepare the sauce by heating olive oil in a small saucepan over medium heat.
Add minced garlic cloves to the saucepan and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Stir in the soy sauce, maple syrup, and rice vinegar, and let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to create a slurry, then add this to the saucepan to thicken the sauce. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until thickened.
Once the cauliflower is done baking, transfer it to a large mixing bowl and pour the honey garlic sauce over it, tossing to coat thoroughly.
Garnish the vegan wings with sesame seeds and chopped green onions before serving.
Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce for an extra treat.
