Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Gradually add water to the dry ingredients while whisking briskly to form a smooth batter.
Dip each cauliflower floret into the batter, ensure it is fully coated, and place it on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
Bake the battered cauliflower in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
While the cauliflower is baking, prepare the honey garlic sauce. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and sesame oil.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Allow it to thicken slightly, about 5-7 minutes, then remove from heat.
Once the cauliflower is done baking, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly.
Gently toss the baked cauliflower with the honey garlic sauce until evenly coated.
Transfer the coated cauliflower onto a serving platter.
Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving. Enjoy your Vegetarian Honey Garlic Wings!
