Ingredients

  • 1 head cauliflower
  • *for the batter*
  • ½ cup all purpose flour
  • ¾ cup unsweetened plain nondairy milk
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning blend
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoon nutritional yeast
  • 2 cups Italian-seasoning Panko breadcrumbs
  • *for the garlic sauce*
  • 3 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 tablespoon melted vegan butter
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 3-4 fresh garlic cloves
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon dry parsley

Instructions

  • First, preheat the oven to 450F and line a baking sheet with parchment or a silicone mat.
  • Next, cut the cauliflower into small florets, rinse well, and dry.
  • In a shallow bowl, whisk together the flour, nondairy milk, and all the seasonings. Batter should be thick but not glue-y.
  • In a separate shallow bowl, place the Panko breadcrumbs.
  • Dip each piece of cauliflower in the batter, dripping off the excess, then roll around in the Panko and place on prepared baking sheet. Repeat with all.
  • Bake cauliflower wings for 30-35 minutes, until golden brown and crisp.
  • While cauliflower bakes, prepare the garlic sauce. In a large bowl, combine the melted vegan butter, olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and parsley. Add in the fresh garlic {I find that using a microplane to grate it finely works best} and mix it all together.
  • When the cauliflower is cooked, toss it in the prepared garlic sauce, then place back on baking sheet and bake for another 5-6 minutes.
  • Serve immediately with ranch for dipping!
