Description

These cauliflower 'wings' are dredged in an almond milk batter, then dipped in a vegan hot sauce 'butter' after roasting for crispy outsides and tender insides.

Ingredients

1 small head cauliflower, broken into small florets
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon paprika
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 cups almond milk, or as needed
1/2 cup bread crumbs, or as needed
2 ounces vegan margarine (such as Earth Balance®)
1 (8 ounce) bottle hot pepper sauce (such as Frank's RedHot®)

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
2 Mix flour, paprika, salt, and pepper together. Add enough almond milk to create a slightly thick, soupy texture.
3 Place bread crumbs in a shallow bowl. Dip cauliflower pieces one at a time into the batter, then roll in bread crumbs. Place on the prepared cookie sheet.
4 Bake in the preheated oven until starting to brown, 15 to 20 minutes.
5 While 'wings' are baking, melt margarine and whisk together with hot sauce.
6 Reduce oven temperature to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Dip 'wings' into the sauce and place back on the cookie sheet; continue baking for 10 to 15 minutes. Serve immediately.
