  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Cauliflower Wings

  • 1 head cauliflower, cut into florets
  • 1 cup oat flour
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup non-dairy milk
  • 1 ½ cups quick oats or crushed crackers

Teriyaki Sauce & Garnish

  • 1 cup teriyaki sauce
  • Sesame seeds, to sprinkle
  • Chopped spring onions, to sprinkle (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 220ºC (425ºF) and line a large baking sheet with baking paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
  2. Prepare cauliflower florets: Cut the cauliflower into small, relatively even-sized florets to ensure they cook evenly and achieve a crispy texture throughout.
  3. Make the batter: In a medium to large bowl, whisk together the oat flour, non-dairy milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and a pinch of black pepper until smooth and free of lumps.
  4. Coat the cauliflower: Toss the cauliflower florets in the batter until each piece is fully coated, using a spatula or spoon for even coverage.
  5. Bread the florets: Transfer the coated cauliflower to a bowl of quick oats or crushed crackers, rolling them around until well coated for added crunch.
  6. Arrange and bake: Place the coated cauliflower pieces in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly to allow crisping. Bake for 22-25 minutes or until golden and crisp.
  7. Prepare teriyaki sauce: While baking, pour the teriyaki sauce into a large shallow bowl. If it is very thick, dilute with a few tablespoons of water to make it easier to coat the cauliflower.
  8. Coat with teriyaki: Dip each baked cauliflower piece into the teriyaki sauce or brush the sauce onto them, ensuring each piece is well-coated.
  9. Second bake: Return the coated cauliflower to the baking sheet and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes to set the sticky sauce and enhance the flavor.
  10. Garnish and serve: Remove from the oven, sprinkle with sesame seeds and optional chopped spring onions, then serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Using oat flour and non-dairy milk makes this recipe both gluten-free and vegan-friendly.
  • For an extra spicy kick, add some chili powder or cayenne pepper to the batter.
  • Alternate coatings such as crushed gluten-free crackers work well to vary texture.
  • Make sure the cauliflower florets are dry before coating to improve batter adhesion.
  • Serve with additional teriyaki sauce or a side of vegan ranch for dipping.
