STEP 1: Carefully cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets.

STEP 2: In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, the plant-based milk, the water, the garlic power, the paprika powder, the salt, and the black pepper. Stir until well combined.

STEP 3: Dip the florets into the batter, so they’re completely coated.Cauliflower floret being dipped into batter and panko flakes on the side

STEP 4:  Roll them in the panko breadcrumbs. Omit this step for a gluten-free version. However, they’re way crispier with the panko breadcrumb coating.

STEP 5: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lay the cauliflower florets on the baking sheet. Don’t put them on top of each other. Bake for 25 minutes at 350 °F.

 

STEP 6: Transfer the cooked cauliflower wings to a bowl.

STEP 7: Combine the BBQ  sauce with a teaspoon sriracha sauce and pour it over the baked cauliflower wings. Evenly coat them from all sides by stirring them a few times.

 

STEP 8: Put the coated hot wings back on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

STEP 9: Bake again for 20 minutes at 350 °F.

STEP 10: Serve immediately and sprinkle with the green onions and serve with vegan aioli or vegan ranch sauce
