Ingredients

• 1 large cauliflower head
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup BBQ sauce
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets, making sure they are as uniform as possible for even cooking.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, unsweetened almond milk, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until a smooth batter forms.

Step 4

Dip each cauliflower floret into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated, and let the excess drip off before placing it onto the prepared baking sheet.

Step 5

Bake the cauliflower in the preheated oven for 20 minutes until the batter is set and starting to brown.

Step 6

While the cauliflower is baking, prepare the BBQ glaze by mixing the BBQ sauce with maple syrup in a small bowl.

Step 7

After 20 minutes, remove the baking sheet from the oven and brush the BBQ maple glaze onto each cauliflower wing.

Step 8

Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, until the cauliflower is tender and the glaze is sticky and caramelized.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Serve the Vegan BBQ Wings warm, with extra BBQ sauce on the side if desired.
