Vegan Buffalo Cauliflower Wings

Makes roughly 10 cauliflower wings

Ingredients

1/2 medium cauliflower

Batter:

125 ml of non dairy milk

70g plain flour

1 teaspoon of cumin

½ teaspoon of garlic powder

1 teaspoon of smoked paprika

150g of panko breadcrumbs

Sauce:

2 tablespoons of margarine (palm oil free) or ordourless coconut oil

50ml of vegetable stock

1/4 teaspoon of sriracho or other chilli sauce

tablespoon of paprika

½ tablespoon of cumin

½ teaspoon of garlic powder

2 teaspoons of agave or maple syrup or brown sugar

1 tablespoons vinegar

1 tablespoons of tomato ketchup

Method

Begin by cutting cauliflower into large florets

Next put the batter ingredients into a bowl and mix thoroughly, then coat the cauliflower in the batter
Coat the florets in breadcrumbs then put in the oven for 30 minutes at 180 degrees celcius or until golden
Whilst the cauliflower is in the oven put all the sauce ingredients into a pan, heat and simmer gently for a couple of minutes then set aside

When the florets come out of the oven pour the sauce over them and place back in the oven for 5 minutes, all the sauce should be absorbed and the wings should be crispy, if they’re not crispy return to the oven for a few more minutes.
