Zesty Cauliflower Wings - Vegan recipe hero image

I’ve always found joy in creating dishes that surprise and delight, and these cauliflower wings are a perfect example!

They remind me of a gathering with friends, where we laughed and shared stories over a plate of spicy goodness.

The best part?

If you’re looking for a fun snack or party dish, give these a try!

What Makes This Recipe Special

  • Made with simple, plant-based ingredients that are easy to find
  • No animal products - completely vegan and cruelty-free
  • Perfect for beginners and experienced cooks alike
  • Delicious results that everyone will love, vegan or not

Ingredients & Substitutions

The cauliflower is the star here, so look for a fresh head with tight florets. You can play around with the spices in the batter – a pinch of cayenne adds a nice kick if you’re feeling adventurous! I often use chickpea flour instead of all-purpose to keep it gluten-free and add extra protein.

Tips & Notes

  • I love to serve these with a side of homemade vegan ranch for dipping – it’s a match made in heaven!
  • If you want extra crispy wings, try broiling them for a minute after baking.

Recipe Variations

  • Sometimes I like to toss them in a sweet chili sauce for a different flavor profile.
  • You can also try using a different spice blend, like curry powder, for a fun twist!

Storage & Freezing

These wings are best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge. Just be sure to reheat them in the oven to bring back that crunch!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make these wings gluten-free?

Absolutely! Just swap the all-purpose flour with chickpea flour, and you’re good to go.

What’s the best way to store leftovers?

Store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven to regain that crispiness!
