Perfect as an appetizer or a delightful snack, these wings offer a unique combination of sweet and tangy notes, complemented by the crispy texture of baked cauliflower.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large head of cauliflower, cut into florets
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 cup mango puree
  • 1/4 cup tamarind paste
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (optional for heat)
  • Fresh cilantro, for garnish

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure the cauliflower wings bake evenly and become crispy.

Step 2: Prepare the Cauliflower

Wash and cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets. Make sure they are all roughly the same size for uniform cooking.

Step 3: Mix the Batter

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, plant milk, and spices until smooth. This will create the batter to coat the cauliflower wings.

Step 4: Coat the Cauliflower

Dip each cauliflower floret into the batter, ensuring it’s fully coated. Shake off any excess batter before placing them on a baking sheet.

Step 5: Bake the Cauliflower Wings

Spread the coated cauliflower florets in a single layer on the baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.

Step 6: Prepare the Sauce

While the cauliflower is baking, mix together the mango and tamarind sauce ingredients in a bowl. Adjust the seasoning to your preference.

Step 7: Toss in the Sauce

Once the cauliflower wings are done baking, remove them from the oven and toss them in the mango-tamarind sauce until well coated.

Step 8: Bake Again

Return the coated cauliflower wings to the oven for an additional 10 minutes to let the sauce caramelize slightly.

Step 9: Serve and Enjoy

Serve the baked mango-tamarind cauliflower wings hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired. Enjoy them as an appetizer or snack!
