Spicy Vegan Cauliflower 'Wings"

Now technically these aren't 'wings', however, cauliflower is an amazing vessel for flavour and a much healthier alternative to mock meats. This dish is super satisfying, fool proof and with this delish spicy sauce, you can zhoozh up your cauliflowers in no time.

Serves: 4

Spice level: Hot

Ingredients

• 1 head of cauliflower

• 1 spring onion

• 2 tbsp sesame seeds

Batter

• 3/4 cups plain flour

• 1 cup water

• 1 tsp garlic powder

• 1 tsp onion powder

• 1/2 tsp salt

• 1/2 tsp cracked pepper

Sauce

• 2 cloves garlic

• 1 whole spring onion

• 1/3 cup Sriracha (or less if you can't handle much spice)

• 2 tbsp brown sugar

• 1 tbs sesame oil

• 1 tbs rice vinegar

• Juice 1/2 lemon

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C

2. Chop the cauliflower into bite-size pieces, and wash thoroughly

3. Mix all the batter ingredients with a fork until smooth

4. Add the cauliflower and batter into a bowl and mix well until fully coated

5. Place the cauliflower in a tray, ensuring any excess batter does not get tipped in

6. Place in the oven and cook for 45 minutes

7. In the meantime, get started on the sauce. Add all the sauce ingredients to a food processor (I used a Nutri Bullet) and blend until smooth

8. Once the cauliflower has cooked for 45 minutes, pour over the sauce and give it a light mix, and place it back in the oven for around 10 minutes

9. Serve with finely chopped spring onion and a sprinkle of sesame seeds
