Nutritious cauliflower with a spicy sauce makes a great vegetarian substitute for chicken wings. Swap out the honey for agave syrup to make this vegan.

Time 1h15m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 tablespoons gochujang (Korean hot pepper paste)
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 tablespoon raw sugar
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon honey
½ teaspoon garlic, minced
6 tablespoons water
¼ cup sweet rice flour
¼ cup potato starch
½ teaspoon granulated garlic
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground white pepper
1 small head cauliflower, cut into wing-sized pieces
2 tablespoons sesame seeds, or to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Mix gochujang, ketchup, sugar, soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, and garlic together in a bowl. Set sauce aside.
  • Mix water, rice flour, potato starch, granulated garlic, salt, and white pepper together in a bowl. Add a small amount of additional water if batter is too thick.
  • Place cauliflower pieces in a bowl and pour batter on top. Toss to coat. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each piece.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until some spots form, about 30 minutes.
  • Transfer baked 'wings' to a large bowl, leaving oven on. Add sauce and toss to coat. Return 'wings' to the baking sheet, leaving space between them. Return to the hot oven until black spots start to appear, about 15 minutes.
  • Transfer to a serving plate and top with sesame seeds.

These wings were a disappointment. They were dry and overcooked. I won't be making them again.

I've tried many cauliflower wing recipes, and this one is by far the best. The marinade is flavorful and the wings come out perfectly crispy. I highly recommend this recipe!

These wings were delicious! I loved the crispy coating and the sweet and spicy sauce. I will definitely be making these again.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my wings turned out soggy. Maybe I didn't bake them long enough?

These wings were a bit bland. I think I would have liked them better if I had used a different marinade.

I followed the recipe exactly and the wings came out perfect! They were crispy, flavorful, and had just the right amount of heat. I'll definitely be making these again soon.

These wings were a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved them. He said they were the best cauliflower wings he's ever had.

I've made these wings several times now and they're always a crowd-pleaser. The gochujang sauce is the perfect balance of sweet and spicy. I like to serve them with a side of ranch dressing for dipping.

These were so easy to make and they turned out great! I used a store-bought Korean BBQ sauce, and it worked perfectly. I served them with rice and a side of kimchi. Yum!

I'm not a huge fan of cauliflower, but these wings were surprisingly good! The marinade really made all the difference. I baked them for a little longer than the recipe called for, just to make sure they were extra crispy.

These cauliflower wings were a hit at my party! Everyone loved them, even the meat-eaters. They're crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a delicious Korean BBQ flavor. I'll definitely be making these again!
