Ingredients
- 1 large head cauliflower
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup barbecue sauce
- 2 tablespoons agave nectar
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets, removing most of the stem.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond milk, flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt to form a smooth batter.
Step 4
Place the panko breadcrumbs in a separate shallow bowl.
Step 5
Dip each cauliflower floret into the batter, allowing excess to drip off, then roll in the panko breadcrumbs to coat completely. Place the coated florets onto the prepared baking sheet.
Step 6
Lightly spray or drizzle the coated florets with olive oil to help them brown and crisp up. Use a cooking spray for an even layer.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through for even cooking.
Step 8
While the cauliflower is baking, combine the barbecue sauce with agave nectar in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir to blend and heat until just bubbly, approximately 5 minutes.
Step 9
Once the cauliflower florets are baked, remove them from the oven and let cool slightly. Transfer to a large bowl and pour the heated BBQ sauce over them, tossing gently to coat.
Step 10
Serve immediately as a delicious appetizer or side dish, and enjoy the vegan honey BBQ flavors of these 'boneless wings'.
