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
- ½ cup bread crumbs, or as needed (Optional)
- 2 ounces vegan margarine (such as Earth Balance®)
- 1 (8 ounce) bottle hot pepper sauce (such as Frank’s RedHot®)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix flour, paprika, salt, and pepper together. Add enough almond milk to create a slightly thick, soupy texture.
- 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.
- Bake in the preheated oven until starting to brown, 15 to 20 minutes.
- While ‘wings’ are baking, melt margarine and whisk together with hot sauce.
- 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.
- Use any hot sauce you prefer.
- Gluten-free flour and bread crumbs also work in this recipe.
Reviews
The cauliflower was just right after 15 min of baking, so I only gave it 5 more min with the hot sauce. I tried it 2 ways, one as written (but with shorter baking tim, the other adding the hot sauce in with the flour/milk coating. Very little difference in taste, much easier preparation. I didn’t use bread crumbs but made the batter much thicker. Easy, fast, healthy, perfect!
I love this recipe! So yummy! Crispy outside , chewy inside…. Perfecto!
Recipe is great! I had never heard of this before. Instead of the butter and hot sauce, I used Buffalo wing sauce for some and a bourbon barbecue sauce for the others. Both flavors turned out really good.
I made these, twice! My wife and I love them
Fabulous. Definitely make sure the florets don’t touch on the baking sheets to get them crispier.
Wouldn’t change a thing! I think the flour mixture really helps the flavor get into the cauliflower. Our new go to for a vegetarian menu.
Easy to make & my husband loved it!
