Instructions

Pre-heat the oven to 450 degrees F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil. You can also use to medium-small baking sheets if that’s what you have.

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, milk, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until fully combined.

Working in batches, dredge the cauliflower florets in the batter and tap each on gently to get rid of excess batter. You want them to be fully covered but not dripping. Line them on the baking sheet.

Once all of the florets are covered in the batter and on the baking sheet, bake for 25 minutes, flipping halfway through.

While the cauliflower bakes, whisk together the hot sauce and maple syrup. When the cauliflower is out of the oven, drizzle the sauce over the cauliflower and toss to combine so that they are evenly covered in the sauce.

Serve with dipping sauce (I used ranch dressing) and veggie sticks (carrot and celery sticks) and ENJOY!

Tips & Tricks (5)

Dry Your Cauliflower Thoroughly 💧
Pat cauliflower florets completely dry with paper towels before coating; excess moisture prevents crispy coating and causes the batter to slide off during frying.
Create a Perfectly Crispy Batter 🥣
Whisk almond milk with flour until smooth, then let the batter rest for 5 minutes to allow gluten development, which creates superior crispiness when fried.
Double-Dip for Extra Crunch 🍗
Coat cauliflower once, let it sit for 2 minutes, then dip a second time in batter before frying to achieve ultra-crispy wings that hold up better to sauce.
Toast Your Spice Blend First 🌶️
Lightly toast paprika and garlic powder in a dry skillet for 30 seconds before mixing into the flour coating to deepen flavors and eliminate any raw spice taste.
Toss Warm Wings in Hot Sauce 🔥
Combine hot sauce and maple syrup while still warm, then immediately toss freshly-fried cauliflower in the mixture so the coating adheres properly and flavors penetrate.
