Crispy Crumbed Cauliflower Wings

One of the most popular dishes I’ve shared is crumbed cauliflower ‘wings’. They’re well loved for their crunchy and crispy coating. Coated in a sticky soy sauce and topped with spring onions, these cauliflower wings need little more than a bowl of rice to make a satisfying meal.

Serves 2-4, takes 30 mins

INGREDIENTS

1 cup wholemeal breadcrumbs

1 medium-sized cauliflower, cut into florets

vegan mayonnaise

chopped spring onion

sesame seeds to serve


Batter

½ cup plain white flour

¾ cup oat milk

½ tsp paprika

½ tsp ground turmeric

Sauce

3 tbsp maple syrup

1 tbsp soy sauce

1 tsp sesame oil

1 tbsp cracked black pepper

¼ tsp crushed garlic

¼ tsp crushed fresh ginger

METHOD

1 Preheat oven to 200°C fan-bake.

2 Put all batter ingredients, plus salt and pepper to taste, into a medium-sized bowl and mix to combine.

3 Place breadcrumbs on a plate.

4 Dip cauliflower florets one at a time into batter, then roll in breadcrumbs to coat.

5 Place cauliflower florets on an oven tray. Bake for 25 minutes.

6 Halfway through baking, shake the sauce ingredients together in a small jar. Remove tray from oven and drizzle sauce on top of cauliflower. Return tray to oven. The sauce will become sticky as the cauliflower continues to cook.

7 Serve cauliflower wings with vegan mayonnaise and garnish with spring onion and sesame seeds.
