1/2 tsp salt

1 cup plant based milk (such as almond milk)

1 medium head cauliflower (around 6 cups)

2 tbsp tomato paste

2 tbsp rice vinegar

1/4 cup tamari (or soy sauce)

2 tbsp maple syrup

1/2 tbsp Sriracha

2 tbsp cornstarch

1/2 cup water

1 tbsp sesame oil

1 large onion (diced)

2 cloves garlic (minced)

2 tbsp ginger (freshly grated)

1/4 cup sesame seeds

Instruções

Preheat oven.

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C (400 F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.

Make batter.

Add the flour, baking powder, nutritional yeast, garlic power, salt and plant based milk to a large mixing bowl. Whisk together thoroughly, until no lumps remain.

Prepare cauliflower.

Prepare the cauliflower florets. Trim the leaves from the cauliflower and then remove the stem, before chopping it into bite-sized florets.

Bake.

Dip the cauliflower florets in the batter and shake off any excess batter before laying them out on the baking tray. Make sure to leave enough space between the florets. Now bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, until crispy and golden brown.

Make sauce.

Meanwhile, prepare the sauce by whisking together the tomato paste, rice vinegar, tamari, maple syrup and sriracha. In a separate mixing bowl, make the cornstarch slurry by mixing together cornstarch and water.

Cook onion, garlic and ginger.

When the cauliflower is almost done, heat the sesame oil in a pan over a medium-high heat. Add the onion, garlic and ginger, cooking for 3-4 minutes, until fragrant.

Mix cauliflower and sauce.

Add the sauce and cornstarch slurry, lowering the heat. Whisk continuously for around 5 minutes, until the sauce thickens. Remove from the heat and add the cauliflower wings, stirring together thoroughly.

Add sesame seeds

At the last minute, stir in the sesame seeds and serve.
