Ingredients
Gochujang Sauce
- 1/4 cup gochujang paste, (60g)
- 1/4 cup soy sauce, (85g)
- 3 tbsp agave nectar
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1/2 tsp ground ginger
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Breaded Cauliflower
- 1 head of cauliflower,
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour, (90g)
- 3/4 cup plant-based milk, (175ml)
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs, (170g)
Garnish
- sesame seeds and green onions
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line two large sheet pans.
- Combine the gochujang sauce ingredients and set this aside for now so the flavors can come together.
- Cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets.
- Whisk the wet flour, plant milk, cornstarch, baking powder, and onion powder into a thick mixture. Pour the panko bread crumbs into a separate, shallow bowl and set these two bowls next to each other.
- A few at a time, coat the caulifower with the wet batter and shake off the excess. Coat them with breadcrumbs before placing them on the baking sheets an inch apart from each other.
- Bake the cauliflower for 20 minutes, flipping them halfway through. Coat them with the sauce and bake them for 3 more minutes.
- Top the gochujang "wings" with sesame seeds and sliced green onions. Enjoy them as they are or with your favorite sauce!

Notes
- Add more flour to the batter if it's too thin to ensure that it clings to the florets.
- Make sure the oven is fully heated before adding them to it for the best result.
- Baking the sauce into the wings helps to maintain their crispness.
- Keep the cauliflower spread apart rather than crowding them on the baking sheet so they can get nice and crunchy.
- These cauliflower wings are delicious with vegan ranch or my sriracha mayo.
