Tips and Notes

  • Cauliflower: Choose fresh, firm cauliflower. Cut it into bite-sized florets for even cooking and easier eating.
  • Batter: For the best texture, coat the cauliflower in a mixture of flour, water, and spices. This creates a crispy exterior when baked.
  • BBQ Sauce: Use your favorite store-bought BBQ sauce or make your own by mixing ketchup, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, and spices for a homemade touch.
  • Cooking Method: Bake the cauliflower wings at 425°F (220°C) for about 25-30 minutes for a healthier option. Alternatively, fry them for an extra crispy texture.
  • Storage: Store any leftover wings in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven to restore crispiness before serving.

Enjoy the flavorful and crispy Vegan BBQ Cauliflower Wings as a delicious addition to your meal or snack time!
