Crispy Vegan Cauliflower Wings
Who needs chicken when we have cauliflower?
Yes, seriously! Crispy Cauliflower Wings is my new thing, let me tell you all. So simple to make and when frying them in the oven, they don’t get greasy and stuffed with oil either. The panko around the cauliflower is so amazing, and really make these cauliflower wings super crispy. Oh, and did I mention that this recipe is completely vegan too? Yes, yes, yes!
So what do you serve cauliflower wings with?
Anything you want really! My personal favourite is serving them with garlic dip/ garlic sauce, but sometimes I pick a more Asian fused vibe and serve with cilantro, spring onion, sesame seeds, and make a dip with ingredients like soy sauce, ginger, chili etc. That’s what I like about these crispy cauliflower wings, they really suit with so many different kinds of ingredients and foods. You can eat them as a main (to rice or potatoes preferably) or have them as a snack or side to something else you eat - or to your drinks.
Just remember that these are best eaten straight after getting out from the oven since that is the time they are crispy. When reheating them they won’t get that nice crispy crust they have as when you first make them.
