Description

These Teriyaki Cauliflower Wings are a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional wings, perfect for vegetarians or those looking to reduce their meat intake.


Ingredients

Units Scale

1 cauliflower head

1.5 cups panko breadcrumbs

1 cup milk of your choosing

½ cup flour

½ tsp garlic powder

½ tsp onion powder

¼ tsp salt or to taste

¼ tsp black pepper or to taste

½ cup water

¼ cup soy sauce

¼ cup brown sugar

2 tbsp honey

2 cloves of garlic, minced

1 tbsp ginger, minced

1 tbsp corn flour (optional, for sticky sauce)

1 tbsp sesame seeds, for garnish

1 spring onion, for garnish


Instructions

Start by cutting the cauliflower into florets.

In a medium-sized bowl, combine the milk, flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Whisk until well combined.

Add the cauliflower florets into the wet mixture, ensuring each floret is well coated.

Place the panko breadcrumbs in a shallow dish. Toss each coated cauliflower floret in the panko until fully covered.

Arrange the coated cauliflower florets in a single layer in your air fryer. Air fry for 20 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

While the cauliflower is cooking, prepare the teriyaki sauce. In a saucepan, mix water, soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, minced garlic, and minced ginger. Cook on medium-high heat until the water has evaporated, and the sauce thickens, approximately 10-15 minutes. If using corn flour, mix it with a bit of water, then add it to the sauce and cook for an additional 2 minutes.

Once the cauliflower wings are cooked, toss them in the teriyaki sauce until evenly coated.

Plate the teriyaki cauliflower wings and garnish with sliced spring onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.
