Ingredients

Servings

Crunchy Cauliflower Wings

  • ½ cauliflower head around 500 g
  • 1 cup flour whole-wheat or regular
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 teaspoon coriander powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin powder
  • ¾ cup plant-based milk unsweetened
  • 2 cups fine bread crumbs

Sriracha Mayo

  • 4 tablespoon vegan mayonnaise
  • 1 ½ tablespoon Sriracha
  • juice ½ lime

Instructions

  1. Add the flour, spices, and plant-based milk to a big bowl. Combine well until you have a perfectly smooth batter with no lumps.
  2. If you find the batter too thick, you can add some more plant-based milk or water.
  3. Break the cauliflower into florets, add to the batter, mix well, and ensure they are all completely coated.
  4. Add the bread crumbs to a bowl and using your hands, bread each floret by dipping it into the breadcrumbs and place on a plate or directly to the air-fryer basket.
  5. To air-fry the cauliflower, you may need to make two batches depending on your air-fryer size and the cauliflower you are using. Using a cooking brush, add some oil to the florets.
  6. Set the air-fryer to 180C (350F), add the breaded florets into the air fryer basket, and air-fry for 18 minutes. If you are adding a second batch, you can reduce the time to 16 minutes as the air-fryer will already be hot.

Sriracha Mayo

  1. Combine the vegan mayo, sriracha sauce, and lime juice in a medium-sized bowl.
  2. Add some chopped green onions and serve on the side of the cauliflower bites.

Notes

  • If you want to make this recipe ahead, bread the cauliflower, leave in the fridge and air fry the cauliflower bites right before serving. 
  • For baking, preheat the oven to 200 C (400F) and bake for about 15 minutes. Then flip the florets and bake for another 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
  • For deep-frying, add enough oil to a saucepan or fryer and heat the oil to medium-high heat Add the cauliflower and cook for 5-6 minutes, flip and cook on the other side for another 5-6 minutes so it cooks evenly on both sides. Cook until golden brown.
