Vegan Maple Sesame Cauliflower “Wings”

Vegan Maple Sesame Cauliflower “Wings”

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 450 F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. Wash cauliflower. Cut into florets about the size of a chicken wing, removing the stems.
3. In a bowl, mix all the batter ingredients together leaving the bread crumbs out. Place the bread crumbs in a separate bowl.
4. Dip the cauliflower in the batter one floret at a time, shaking off excess batter – they should be just lightly coated. Coat the cauliflower with the breadcrumbs and place onto the baking sheet. Repeat until all the wings are coated.
5. Bake 20 – 25 minutes.
6. Mix all of the coating sauce ingredients in a bowl excluding the chives.
7. Remove cooked wings from oven. Use a pastry brush to coat the wings with the sauce. Bake another 5 – 10 minutes to allow the sauce to soak into the wings and crisp up again.
8. Add all dipping sauce ingredients into a mason jar, shake well, and serve in a small bowl.
9. Remove from oven, sprinkle with chives and serve immediately.

TIPS: if you want the wings to stay crispier, then skip adding the sauce to the wings and just use the dip. You still get most of the flavour.
