These are the very best !!! I eat these twice daily, lunch and dinner, they are delicious and tasty, can’t get enough! I have half a plate steamed broccoli half a plate these cauliflower wings! (6 bites each) my blood sugars are finally under control eating food I enjoy!
He's right this is the best cauli wings recipe ever! Wings are the first food I missed the most when going vegan and I have tried so many other recipes. 🔥THESE WINGS ARE INSANE! TOTAL GAMECHANGER!🔥
We call this bhajias or pakoras...in India...chickpea flour is also called Besan...you could make this with potatoes, Bread,cabbage,capsicum or peppers. Thankyou for the recipe with add on of rice crumbs ..turned out great with fish fingers and shrimp too!
I have made this a couple of times now and I am making some at this moment. I like them a little more dried out and for me they taste even better after being in the fridge overnight or so. I make my own hot sauce so I can control the added salt ( which is none) and because I am cheap. These wings must be one of the healthiest snacks/ side dish you can keep in your fridge. Its a cruciferous vegetable dipped in bean batter and no oil or sugar. Thats awesome.
Made these and the sauce last night, served over salad (the ranch was the dressing!). So very good. Not too difficult or much effort at all! Used the air fryer for the wings.
Thanks a million for sharing your spicy cauliflower wings. I'm new to vegan cooking and made chickpea flour for the first time eager to try your recipe. I followed the printable version and baked them in air fryer to provide a wonderfully crispy crunch. These spicy cauliflower wings exceeded expectations. Ooh they're so good! I recommend making a double batch. They'll disappear before your eyes. Subbed.
I know im asking the wrong place but does anyone know a trick to get back into an Instagram account..? I was dumb lost my password. I would appreciate any help you can offer me
@Juan Collin thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site on google and I'm trying it out atm. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
These are amazing! The crunch of the cauliflower and the savory spicy of the buffalo sauce is so satisfying. I used real home made ranch w/ vegan mayo, dairy sour cream and yogurt. I also used 1/2 c. dairy butter in the buffalo sauce. So filling and delicious! Having these as a side for turkey bacon bison burgers this week. These are a keeper. 🧡
just made the cauliflower wings - unbelievable! The chickpea flour coating really elevates the recipe. Great video. I also loved your tutorial on how to butcher a cauliflower - no more confetti disasters in my kitchen - thanks!
Yay! So happy you enjoyed it. Yes, I agree. chickpea flour is one of my all time favorite ingredients to use in the kitchen. It's magical. Glad I could help out! Thanks for watching and taking the time to share.
Dude this recipe is the truth I absolutely love it and it’s baked and not fried and you can make all kinds of flavors thanks for sharing. Wow!!! Wow!!!
SIR!!!!!!! Absolutely AMAZING. The batter is NUTS and Sooooo delicious. I didn't have anything to make the buffalo sauce so I ate them plain. It was like popping candy in my mouth it was so delicious even without the sause.
You were right! These are the best cauliflower wings. They are my first success story. For some reason I have not been able create great tasting cauliflower wing until now. Thank you for this recipe!
I made these for Super Bowl Sunday and they were delicious! I love the crunchy crust, the rice crumbs, and Chickpea flour make. Even my non-vegan husband enjoyed them.
I appreciate how these don’t have any leftover batter! Every single time I have extra batter I don’t need.I usually end up trying to use it because I don’t like to waste... so this is great!
Me, too! It's on the thicker side which helps it stick, and that's why it takes a minute or two to get the cauliflower coated. It's also nice because it doesn't drip or puddle-up. All the deliciousness just clings to the cauliflower.
Great to see such enthusiasm for chickpea flour, Monson. IMHO, like cauliflower, it's a super-ingredient. I take a socca/farinata batter (1 cup c/pea flour, 2 tbs EVOO, 1 cup water), beat and season, stand a few hours, then fry as pancakes for wraps. A change from flatbreads, perfect for fried onions and bell pepper strips, whatever...
I truly love chickpea flour. It's so versatile in the kitchen. And yeah, cauliflower is the Meryl Streep of the vegetable kingdom. Thanks so much for the recipe idea. I'm going to give it a go. Love the wrap!
Thank you! My local Indian restaurant uses chickpea flour for the chili gobi I always order from them but they fry the cauliflower. I am so happy you bake this. I am going to use your recipe
The chickpea flour does really well in the oven. One could fry them if they really wanted, but I don't think it needs it. If you give them a go, let me know what you think!
I made this, it came out fantastic. The only problem I didn’t have chickpea flour so I used oat flour it was amazzzzzzzzzzzing!!! Thank you. Saw this recipe last night and made it today
Great Recipe, we had a lot of leftover cauliflower from our foray into Cauliflower Steaks and decided we were going to try Buffalo Cauliflower Bites. We watched a lot of videos and decided to try yours. Very happy with the outcome very very tasty. We will be making this one again. Thanks
I'm brand new... just discovered you looking for buffalo cauliflower! As of late, I've been really wanting to lean more into vegan as much as possible, and wow your recipes look awwwmazing! I can't wait to start diving in, I think my first is this recipe! Then... that vegan lasagne!! Oh myyy!
Welcome. Thanks so much for the love! The pumpkin lasagna rollups are my favorite right now. I've made them so much lately. If you give anything else a go, let me know what you think!
My favorite is siracha and some cashew butter with a bit of water... Unreal!! Somehow tastes like a McDonald's burger. Nostalgic. Your wings look particularly good. You always put love in your food. 💚🐷🌿
I have tried to like the many cauliflower wings recipes I have made but to be honest they never passed my taste bud test. But this recipe is delicious, oh yum. 10 stars for you and thanks for sharing.
Monson, this looks AWESOME! I love breaded vegetables, but I cannot digest oils and most fats. And since they are so often fried, that means these vegetables are usually off-limits to me. Baked versions either include eggs or often come out soggy - or both. THANK YOU so much for a presenting a no-oil version for those of us who can't or prefer not to use oil. Also, I've been reading recipes that use chickpea flour for decades now, but oddly enough, I've never used it - it's historically not easy for me to find where I live, and I am reluctant to buy a large bag of it when I just need a small amount. However, your video and the comments about chickpea flour have convinced me that I REALLY need to try it - it sounds like it's the magic ingredient that helps to makes these light and crispy. I can't wait to try these - I'm going out and buying some chickpea flour right away! I think I'm going to opt for a garlic-teriyaki-chili sauce instead of the Buffalo sauce, though. 😉
Thanks! I so glad you can give this recipe a try! That makes my day. Chickpea flour is such a great ingredient. I have a ton of recipes on my channel that use it. Here's a playlist: ruclips.net/video/lmf0sO59ciM/видео.html
Omg seriously this looks so amazing. I was looking for a great recipe for buffalo cauliflower wings or just cauliflower wings in the oven because I just cut up some and need to use it. And it is super simple...no melting and just simple ingredients. You rock! Thank you
Dude thank you so much! Using chickpea flour as a batter with rice crumbs keeps me from relying on wheat, which my body does not love. Plus will up the protein so won't be all this work for very little return, plus no frying!!! :) Been wanting to make them and this solves all my hang ups. I eat the same plant based foods all the time and I needed some new savory options. THANKS AGAIN SIR!!!
@@MonsonMadeThis It came out tasty, crunchy, actually filling and outstanding, And I'm not like a precise cook or anything so loved that it was easy. I didn't make any sauces yet, I liked it as is. Only down side would be either cauliflower or chickpea flour had me gassy. I may try coconut or almond flour because pastas made from bean flours give me the same problem. But I think you said you might not get the same crunch, so the chickpea flour on it will still be at least a once a week thing, and the other flours more times in the week. Regardless this answers my chicken flavor cravings and you've given me a new meal option. So I can't thank you enough. MUCH RESPECT AND WISHES OF PROSPERITY TO YOU MY BROTHA. :) Thx!
Reading your responses to people's insane comments is cracking me up today. Thanks for the entertainment (: Lovely video and I can't wait to make these cauliflower WINGS tomorrow lol
Could you believe I have never had cauliflower wings? Even though it has already been 2 years I am vegan :D And you know what? The reason for that was probably because I was waiting for your recipe without even knowing that ;D The result you've achieved looks just fantastic! And I am not surprised considering you have a lot of experience! . As always, sending you all the best vibes! Thank you for constant inspiration! Have a great day or night a the week ahead!
I love you so much! I’m going to get my ingredients for this decadent cauliflower wings. I’ve enjoyed every bit of this video. I’m so grateful I found your channel, making videos is a form of art and you have that art. As you can tell I’m so in love with this dish at the end of the videos my mouth watered. Thank you so much keep them coming. P.s- and if you’re reading this comment- know that you’re loved, and you’re special🙏
So far, this recipe looks promising. I have not liked any previous cauliflower wings I have tried, but I know they can be good because I have had good ones. I'm trying this recipe for dinner tonight but using BBQ sauce cause I'm craving bbq. BTW, I love your spice shelf. I store my spices in small and large ball jars as well. So awesome!
Yay! Surprisingly, non-vegans really love a cauliflower wing. So long as they don't feel like you're stepping on their toes and trying to convince them that they are just like chicken. Haha.
WTH!! I was thinking about making cauliflower wings just 10 minutes back and was randomly scrolling through youtube and got this recommendation 🌝 I didn't even search for it 👀
We call this gobi pakora meaning cauliflower pakora. Has been cooked by Indians forever the main difference being that it is deep fried so I like the idea of baking it. We usually have pakoras with mint chutney or tomato sauce - to die for!!
Rice crumb or rice cones in the uk primary use is in fish and chip shops as a drying and discolouratioin agent if this wasn't used then the prepared chips-fries would be sat incwaterbefore cooking. The end result is s lovely dry fluffy no grease taste texture
LOVE THIS VIDEO! Thank you for sharing. Ive watched a few videos about these wings and these ones look the best! Also they sound the healthiest :) Great job, wow.
I have tried so many recipes but truly yours is the best! I didn’t have the cayenne peppers sauce so I just used instead whatever I found in my fridge: ketchup+chilimayo+mustard+salt,pepper,oliveoil mixture. It was so tasty now I am sad because it’s all gone! :( Thank you! :)
",I realized mine are really good", 😊 ...see that's what I like to hear..someone totally confident in their abilities of food making...!! Makes me NOT scared to try then....p.s. I did hear chick pea flour is awful-raw !! Cooked amazing..!!
Michael, Looks delicious ! This is similar to Indian pakora ( using chickpea flour and rice flower). Usually, in India, it is fried more often than baked. You should look into that dish too. It’s vegan And can be made with a variety of vegetables. Your recipe looks good and I look forward to trying it
If you wanted to air fry them, I might suggest using frozen cauliflower.. the air fryer doesn't seems to get the insides cooked before the outsides get crispy. If the cauliflower was pretty tender or par cooked, it'll work.
Thank you so much Chaunda! I love chickpea flour. It's probably my favorite ingredient in the kitchen. Here is my playlist: ruclips.net/p/PLkhJYsqhf4j45i1aLlHehrTzKEMgNdwoO
Thanks man, these were really good. I did the first two steps in the oven and then did the last step with the Frank's Red Hot Sauce in the air fryer. Honestly I am wondering how it would work to add the Frank's Hot Sauce to the chickpea flour batter instead of water or in addition to water. Maybe it could go straight away into the air fryer and would kind of simplify the whole process? I know they wouldn't be as visually appealing but maybe it would be much easier and work great for cauliflower buffalo tacos Etc?
Wow! You will have to forgive me because I am kind of working my way through much of your playlist, so may be commenting on a lot of your current and past vids. I am an accidental pandemic vegan, lifelong vegetarian and overall fool in the kitchen. I have never had real buffalo wings, and honestly they never even looked good to me, but yours did. I had mixed success on my first try... I did half in the oven and half in the air fryer. I used a 16 oz bag of frozen cauliflower from TJ's. Perhaps because of the extra moisture from the frozen veg, I had to cook them in the oven longer than suggested at each step. I also lost a lot of the coating in the air fryer want to stay stuck at turning time, but also wanted to burn quickly. Waiting/cooking the "wings" (lower temp if necessary) until the coating comes together and releases for flipping freely is key. On the air fryer, I reduced the temp a couple times to avoid burning. With some babysitting, I came up with several servings of chewy/crispy "wings" while I watched my football. Also, the ranch is amazing and is going on everything for the next few days... i resisted making any dressing with tofu base because I love tofu and didn't want to "waste" it on a sauce... I am an idiot, this ranch and/or your dressing base is amazing. Cheers.
Did I forget to mention that the flavor on the "wings" was amazing? cause it was. I didn't have the official Frank's but used an off brand cayenne sauce and plenty of extra cayenne to put my face on fire. Don't skimp on the onion or garlic, imho!
I appreciate the comments, and I love being able to help people. I think that using frozen cauliflower is good, but I would use a different cooking technique. Check out this video: ruclips.net/video/IwoM3quHs7Y/видео.html . Just think of frozen as "pre-cooked". It's already broken down from the freezing process, and, yeah, it can spit out a lot of water. Just use the same buffalo sauce, and you should be good.
I'm glad you enjoyed it!!! Pretty much any cayenne sauce will work, and give that "buffalo" flavor. Other hot sauces like sriracha will taste good, too, but it won't have that same flavor. And I'm with you on the garlic. The more the merrier.
@@MonsonMadeThis Yes, i pretty much split the diff on the two treatments the second time I made this recipe. Also, I have not found the "Rice Crumbs" at any of my local Trader Joe's, HOWEVER, if you have an unsweetened vegan crispy rice cereal, like a generic Chex or rice crispies, the crumbs from that (or just crunching it up) works great! I love that discovery because gf breadcrumbs are also too expensive and hard to find in my area.
Hi from Florida... I recently joined the ranks of plant based eating. I am loving it but have a lot to learn. Does anyone know how they hold up if reheated in case I need to make them ahead of time? I want to show off for my canivorous friends. I love making my brownies and give them away without telling what they really are. Their jaws drop. I am aiming for converts. It is so much healthier and I feel so much better. Stay safe & healthy. : )
Howdy! Welcome! To be honest, they don't reheat that well. The cauliflower is like 90% water, so after they've cooled and been left in the fridge overnight, they just don't have the same texture. I have reheated them in my air fryer the next day, and although they tasted good, and did get a bit crispy, they still were not the same as they were when fresh out of the oven. You might get one or two converts with them when they're hot out of the oven, but I don't think you'll impress anyone with day old ones. Haha. Best of luck! Let me know how it goes.
stumbled over this channel and this video over lunch break, subscribed and got some chickpea flour on my way home. the califlower wings are now in the oven. dont have that hot sauce youve mentioned, i am gonna improvise (or shall i say „wing“ it) with african lemon hot sauce and barbeque sauce. i‘ll report back later. 🙋🏽♀️
aight, it turned out nice. the sauce i improvised and tossed the wings in wasnt amazing, my bad. the batter was great, though it didnt turn out crispy. i imagine the ranch would go well with the spice. imma try again next time including the ranch. thanks a lot for the recipe. i wanted to try cauliflower wings for so long and your recipe for whatever reason stood out to me. new subscriber! greetings all the way from switzerland
Thank you for the recipe! I usually grind up dried garbanzo beans to make chickpea flour but I’m all out. Any suggestions on a good substitution for the chickpea flour?
Hi Madison- Many Walmarts now carry chickpea flour if you have one close by. I think I have also seen at my local grocery store (east coast in US) in international section. All south Asian/ Indian grocery stores will also carry this (it is called ‘besan’).
Ingredients: 1 pound (about ½ of a large head) cauliflower, cut into “two bite”-sized pieces For the batter: ½ cup (45 g) chickpea flour 1 tablespoon (5 g) nutritional yeast ½ teaspoon onion powder ½ teaspoon garlic powder ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional) ¼ teaspoon black pepper ½ teaspoon salt, or to taste ¼ cup 2 ounces water 2 to 3 tablespoons rice crumbs or bread crumbs of choice For the Buffalo sauce: ¼ cup Frank’s Red Hot sauce or cayenne pepper sauce 1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil or melted vegan butter* ¼ teaspoon black pepper To serve: Guilt-Free Vegan Ranch Dressing Directions: Prepare the cauliflower by cutting into “two bite”-sized pieces. Set aside. In a very large bowl, combine the chickpea flour, nutritional yeast, onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, black pepper, and salt. Stir in ¼ cup of water to form a paste. If the mixture is too thick, add another tablespoon of water. If it’s too thin, add a bit more chickpea flour. With a rubber spatula, stir the cauliflower into the seasoned chickpea flour paste. Continue to stir for a minute or two, trying to get the cauliflower completely coated. Sprinkle on rice crumbs, and gently stir to coat. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper, and distribute the cauliflower evenly, making sure none of the "wings" are touching. Bake for 15 minutes at 425 F. Turn over each “wing” and bake for another 15 minutes. While the cauliflower bakes, prepare the buffalo sauce by combining the sauce ingredients in the very large bowl. Remove the cauliflower from the oven, and gently toss the cauliflower in the sauce, being careful not to break off the breading. Return the cauliflower to the baking sheet, and bake for another 15 minutes, or until the “wings” are crispy again, and starting to darken. Serve immediately with a side of Guilt-Free Vegan Ranch Dressing.
I'm so glad you enjoyed them! They're definitely a staple around here. Probably making them again today! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!
First time I made cauliflower wings as opposed to just roasting them. It was nice with just the batter so will use again. It wasn't so great when I coated with your Teriyaki sauce, maybe I overcooked them. Thank you for this interesting recipe. 😊
Thank you! One of the best recipes I've ever made! I tried to APPLAUD but it kept saying "unknown error" (not a username joke btw). The only problem with the recipe is I needed 1/2 cup of water and not 1/4 cup. With 1/4 cup it was still super clumpy and mostly dry!
Aw, than you! I'm flattered. And I'm glad you were able to work it out. Recipes are just jumping off point anyway. Sometimes our own kitchen instincts are necessary to get things to come out how they were meant to.
Omg. I'm mid unpacking my new apt and I find myself FORCED to stop and send my hubby to the grocery store to get these ingredients. I swear I can almost smell them thru the phone
I made them and used almond milk instead of water. I made teriyaki and BBQ and I liked the teriyaki the best. That flour has a distinct flavor so I’m going to have to figure out a way to offset that. Thanks for the recipe I don’t want to fry so this was perfect.
@@purityandplants that’s crazy you tell me that today because I’m literally making them tonight for New Years hahaha. I’m going to add some brown sugar this time but I’ll have to try toasting it also. I bought coconut flour so I’m wondering how that will taste also.
@@purityandplants I’ll message you this evening after I make them. I’m doing the same, I’m 90 days in and I’m never going back. It’s easy to replace seafood and meat with veggies it just takes a little more preparation time. I don’t eat soy very often either but that’s a personal choice.
Thanks! My mom said that she made them in the air fryer, and found that hers was too small, and she had to do too many batches to cook them all. Also, she found that the cauliflower was not cooked by the time the breading was browned. My advice would be to use frozen cauliflower if you want to air-fry. That way the insides cauli is already cooked, and you can air-fry them for less time. From personal experience, though, they do reheat well using an air fryer.

@@MonsonMadeThis It came out tasty, crunchy, actually filling and outstanding, And I'm not like a precise cook or anything so loved that it was easy. I didn't make any sauces yet, I liked it as is.
Only down side would be either cauliflower or chickpea flour had me gassy. I may try coconut or almond flour because pastas made from bean flours give me the same problem.
But I think you said you might not get the same crunch, so the chickpea flour on it will still be at least a once a week thing, and the other flours more times in the week. Regardless this answers my chicken flavor cravings and you've given me a new meal option. So I can't thank you enough.
MUCH RESPECT AND WISHES OF PROSPERITY TO YOU MY BROTHA. :) Thx!
I just made these, absolutely fantastic, very delicious.
Reading your responses to people's insane comments is cracking me up today. Thanks for the entertainment (:
Lovely video and I can't wait to make these cauliflower WINGS tomorrow lol
I made these for dinner this evening. They turned out well. Really easy recipe and great tasting. Thanks!
I'm so glad you enjoyed them! Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment.
Could you believe I have never had cauliflower wings? Even though it has already been 2 years I am vegan :D And you know what? The reason for that was probably because I was waiting for your recipe without even knowing that ;D The result you've achieved looks just fantastic! And I am not surprised considering you have a lot of experience!
.
As always, sending you all the best vibes! Thank you for constant inspiration!
Have a great day or night a the week ahead!
There's gotta be a first time for everything! Get on it! Thanks for the love and good vibes. I appreciate it.
I love you so much! I’m going to get my ingredients for this decadent cauliflower wings. I’ve enjoyed every bit of this video. I’m so grateful I found your channel, making videos is a form of art and you have that art. As you can tell I’m so in love with this dish at the end of the videos my mouth watered. Thank you so much keep them coming.
P.s- and if you’re reading this comment- know that you’re loved, and you’re special🙏
Thank you so much for your sweet comment. I truly appreciate the love. Sending it all right back your way.
So far, this recipe looks promising. I have not liked any previous cauliflower wings I have tried, but I know they can be good because I have had good ones. I'm trying this recipe for dinner tonight but using BBQ sauce cause I'm craving bbq. BTW, I love your spice shelf. I store my spices in small and large ball jars as well. So awesome!
Dang it. No measurements and website does not work. Wth!! I want to eat this tonight! 🥺
Made these today and they were 🔥! So so good 🤤 Will def be making these for my non-vegan friends and just anyone in general 🤩
Yay! Surprisingly, non-vegans really love a cauliflower wing. So long as they don't feel like you're stepping on their toes and trying to convince them that they are just like chicken. Haha.
WTH!! I was thinking about making cauliflower wings just 10 minutes back and was randomly scrolling through youtube and got this recommendation 🌝 I didn't even search for it 👀
Thanks, RUclips!!! haha.
🌚
RUclips listens...
Our phone reads our brains now! 🤔
I wish you would post the receipts. Everyone goes too fast.
We call this gobi pakora meaning cauliflower pakora. Has been cooked by Indians forever the main difference being that it is deep fried so I like the idea of baking it. We usually have pakoras with mint chutney or tomato sauce - to die for!!
Hopefully you guide the food network soon, thank you my man.
That's so sweet of you! Here's to hope!
Rice crumb or rice cones in the uk primary use is in fish and chip shops as a drying and discolouratioin agent if this wasn't used then the prepared chips-fries would be sat incwaterbefore cooking. The end result is s lovely dry fluffy no grease taste texture
Interesting. Thanks!
LOVE THIS VIDEO! Thank you for sharing. Ive watched a few videos about these wings and these ones look the best! Also they sound the healthiest :) Great job, wow.
Thanks, Krystal! Thanks for watching.
Can't go wrong using Chickpea flour. By the way, the wings look amazing. I think I will make these tomorrow.
Thanks.
Can't wait to try this recipe. Looks amazing!
Indian Gobi pakora vopy
I think YOU JUST DID THAT!!! New subscriber here... I can almost taste the cauli-wings through my phone!🤤😋
I guess I did. Haha. Give 'em a go. Once you try them, you'll know. haha.
Thanks!!! I have asbestos fingers too. Such a blessing. Peace and plants!!❤️🌱❤️🌱❤️🌱❤️
Haha. It helps a lot in the kitchen to not have any feeling in your fingers. Thanks so much for watching!
I have tried so many recipes but truly yours is the best! I didn’t have the cayenne peppers sauce so I just used instead whatever I found in my fridge: ketchup+chilimayo+mustard+salt,pepper,oliveoil mixture.
It was so tasty now I am sad because it’s all gone! :( Thank you! :)
Thank you so much! I'm a big fan of "use what you've got". It's how most of my recipes start.
",I realized mine are really good", 😊 ...see that's what I like to hear..someone totally confident in their abilities of food making...!! Makes me NOT scared to try then....p.s. I did hear
chick pea flour is awful-raw !! Cooked amazing..!!
They look scrumptious..I will make them this weekend…you gave us some good points…thanks for sharing…
Wow these looks amazing! I’ve been looking for a good recipe and this one is 🔥 just subscribed, glad I found your channel!
Thank you! And thanks for subbing! I really appreciate it. I'm glad you found me, too.
I am only a vegetarian and I've recently made cauliflower "chicken wings". However, I made honey garlic sauce. It was delicious!!!!
Michael, Looks delicious ! This is similar to Indian pakora ( using chickpea flour and rice flower). Usually, in India, it is fried more often than baked. You should look into that dish too. It’s vegan And can be made with a variety of vegetables. Your recipe looks good and I look forward to trying it
Thank you! I always love them at Indian buffets, but I never put it together. I might have to try it with other veggies as well!
I am interested to try this in the air fryer.. Have you ever cooked them that way? I do love chickpea flour, this looks great!
If you wanted to air fry them, I might suggest using frozen cauliflower.. the air fryer doesn't seems to get the insides cooked before the outsides get crispy. If the cauliflower was pretty tender or par cooked, it'll work.
Maybe I would air fry them a bit before putting the batter on?
It doesn’t matter who says what this is a great video. I’m experimenting with homemade chickpea flour
Thank you so much Chaunda! I love chickpea flour. It's probably my favorite ingredient in the kitchen. Here is my playlist: ruclips.net/p/PLkhJYsqhf4j45i1aLlHehrTzKEMgNdwoO
Thanks!
Emily! Thank you so much! I really appreciate it!
This looks so good!! I'm honestly salivating. Thank you for the recipe.
Oh I have been looking for something to spark up my lack luster cauliflower - thank you!
Here you go! Thanks for watching!
Immediately subscribed.
Great vibe as soon as the video started.
I really appreciate it! Thank you !
PERFECT TIMING! Just got home with a cauliflower!
Yay!!! Let me know what you think!
Beautiful yummy,I will be making this ,Thank You for sharing this! Yummy 😋.
Thank you, Lydia! Let me know how they turn out if you give them a go!
@@MonsonMadeThis I will too late at this moment. Thank you for sharing.
today we made this dish and it is so delicious. i loved it.
Liked and subscribed before watching the whole video! You seem like such a wholesome guy! Can’t wait to try these wings! Thanks for the video :)
How do you think quinoa flakes would be? I’ve made these a few times with the rice and they were fantastic
It’s almond midnight here and I am craving cauliflower wings 🤤😋
These are the best. Outstanding!
Thanks! I"m so glad you enjoyed them.
Thanks man, these were really good. I did the first two steps in the oven and then did the last step with the Frank's Red Hot Sauce in the air fryer. Honestly I am wondering how it would work to add the Frank's Hot Sauce to the chickpea flour batter instead of water or in addition to water. Maybe it could go straight away into the air fryer and would kind of simplify the whole process? I know they wouldn't be as visually appealing but maybe it would be much easier and work great for cauliflower buffalo tacos Etc?
Jiminy Crickets my mouth has been watering the whole time. Making them tomorrow for sure. Great vid.
Sorry for the late reply! I hope you enjoyed them.
I am not vegan but i am sure going to try these thanks looks great
Yay! Let me know how it turns out!
Wow! You will have to forgive me because I am kind of working my way through much of your playlist, so may be commenting on a lot of your current and past vids. I am an accidental pandemic vegan, lifelong vegetarian and overall fool in the kitchen. I have never had real buffalo wings, and honestly they never even looked good to me, but yours did. I had mixed success on my first try... I did half in the oven and half in the air fryer. I used a 16 oz bag of frozen cauliflower from TJ's. Perhaps because of the extra moisture from the frozen veg, I had to cook them in the oven longer than suggested at each step. I also lost a lot of the coating in the air fryer want to stay stuck at turning time, but also wanted to burn quickly. Waiting/cooking the "wings" (lower temp if necessary) until the coating comes together and releases for flipping freely is key. On the air fryer, I reduced the temp a couple times to avoid burning. With some babysitting, I came up with several servings of chewy/crispy "wings" while I watched my football. Also, the ranch is amazing and is going on everything for the next few days... i resisted making any dressing with tofu base because I love tofu and didn't want to "waste" it on a sauce... I am an idiot, this ranch and/or your dressing base is amazing. Cheers.
Did I forget to mention that the flavor on the "wings" was amazing? cause it was. I didn't have the official Frank's but used an off brand cayenne sauce and plenty of extra cayenne to put my face on fire. Don't skimp on the onion or garlic, imho!
I appreciate the comments, and I love being able to help people. I think that using frozen cauliflower is good, but I would use a different cooking technique. Check out this video: ruclips.net/video/IwoM3quHs7Y/видео.html . Just think of frozen as "pre-cooked". It's already broken down from the freezing process, and, yeah, it can spit out a lot of water. Just use the same buffalo sauce, and you should be good.
I'm glad you enjoyed it!!! Pretty much any cayenne sauce will work, and give that "buffalo" flavor. Other hot sauces like sriracha will taste good, too, but it won't have that same flavor. And I'm with you on the garlic. The more the merrier.
@@MonsonMadeThis Yes, i pretty much split the diff on the two treatments the second time I made this recipe. Also, I have not found the "Rice Crumbs" at any of my local Trader Joe's, HOWEVER, if you have an unsweetened vegan crispy rice cereal, like a generic Chex or rice crispies, the crumbs from that (or just crunching it up) works great! I love that discovery because gf breadcrumbs are also too expensive and hard to find in my area.
I also used the batter and crunchies (sans buffalo sauce) on button mushrooms and strips of portabella mushrooms.... amazing
Yummm, man, I just found this channel, that's a great recipe. I'm new into the plant base world, these sound really good and wholesome, thank you.
Thanks, Frank. Welcome! This is a great place to start.
@@MonsonMadeThis thank you man. I made it and it turned out great.
These look so yummy. I love the health aspect of these too 👏
Thank you!
Hi from Florida... I recently joined the ranks of plant based eating. I am loving it but have a lot to learn. Does anyone know how they hold up if reheated in case I need to make them ahead of time? I want to show off for my canivorous friends. I love making my brownies and give them away without telling what they really are. Their jaws drop. I am aiming for converts. It is so much healthier and I feel so much better. Stay safe & healthy. : )
Howdy! Welcome! To be honest, they don't reheat that well. The cauliflower is like 90% water, so after they've cooled and been left in the fridge overnight, they just don't have the same texture. I have reheated them in my air fryer the next day, and although they tasted good, and did get a bit crispy, they still were not the same as they were when fresh out of the oven. You might get one or two converts with them when they're hot out of the oven, but I don't think you'll impress anyone with day old ones. Haha. Best of luck! Let me know how it goes.
stumbled over this channel and this video over lunch break, subscribed and got some chickpea flour on my way home. the califlower wings are now in the oven. dont have that hot sauce youve mentioned, i am gonna improvise (or shall i say „wing“ it) with african lemon hot sauce and barbeque sauce. i‘ll report back later. 🙋🏽♀️
aight, it turned out nice. the sauce i improvised and tossed the wings in wasnt amazing, my bad. the batter was great, though it didnt turn out crispy. i imagine the ranch would go well with the spice. imma try again next time including the ranch. thanks a lot for the recipe. i wanted to try cauliflower wings for so long and your recipe for whatever reason stood out to me. new subscriber! greetings all the way from switzerland
So glad you enjoyed the recipe! Play with different sauces and just use the recipe as a jumping-off point. Thanks!
Thank you for the recipe! I usually grind up dried garbanzo beans to make chickpea flour but I’m all out. Any suggestions on a good substitution for the chickpea flour?
Hi Madison- Many Walmarts now carry chickpea flour if you have one close by. I think I have also seen at my local grocery store (east coast in US) in international section. All south Asian/ Indian grocery stores will also carry this (it is called ‘besan’).
I think chickpea flour is a really important ingredient in this particular recipe. I can't really suggest a substitute in this instance.
THIS LOOKS AMAZING.. I CANNOT HAVE SOY WHAT WOULD YOU SUGGEST TO REPLACE FOR THE RANCH DRESSING.. IT ALL LOOKS GREAT.
THANKS!!! There are a ton of cashew-based ranch recipes out there. I would try one of those.
Wow!! This was great!! Thank you!!
Ummm those look amazing! Thanks for the video!
Thanks for watching! I hope you give them a go.
Ingredients:
1 pound (about ½ of a large head) cauliflower, cut into “two bite”-sized pieces
For the batter:
½ cup (45 g) chickpea flour
1 tablespoon (5 g) nutritional yeast
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
¼ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon salt, or to taste
¼ cup 2 ounces water
2 to 3 tablespoons rice crumbs or bread crumbs of choice
For the Buffalo sauce:
¼ cup Frank’s Red Hot sauce or cayenne pepper sauce
1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil or melted vegan butter*
¼ teaspoon black pepper
To serve:
Guilt-Free Vegan Ranch Dressing
Directions:
Prepare the cauliflower by cutting into “two bite”-sized pieces. Set aside.
In a very large bowl, combine the chickpea flour, nutritional yeast, onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, black pepper, and salt. Stir in ¼ cup of water to form a paste. If the mixture is too thick, add another tablespoon of water. If it’s too thin, add a bit more chickpea flour.
With a rubber spatula, stir the cauliflower into the seasoned chickpea flour paste. Continue to stir for a minute or two, trying to get the cauliflower completely coated. Sprinkle on rice crumbs, and gently stir to coat.
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper, and distribute the cauliflower evenly, making sure none of the "wings" are touching.
Bake for 15 minutes at 425 F. Turn over each “wing” and bake for another 15 minutes.
While the cauliflower bakes, prepare the buffalo sauce by combining the sauce ingredients in the very large bowl.
Remove the cauliflower from the oven, and gently toss the cauliflower in the sauce, being careful not to break off the breading.
Return the cauliflower to the baking sheet, and bake for another 15 minutes, or until the “wings” are crispy again, and starting to darken.
Serve immediately with a side of Guilt-Free Vegan Ranch Dressing.
Thank you!
this is sooooo good, I found the wings were hot enough so I didnt add the extra sauce.... I made the ranch dressing too,,, Amazing!!
These are great....making them again tonight. Thanks so much!
I'm so glad you enjoyed them! They're definitely a staple around here. Probably making them again today! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!
Thanks for sharing. This is my favorite vegetable
First time I made cauliflower wings as opposed to just roasting them. It was nice with just the batter so will use again. It wasn't so great when I coated with your Teriyaki sauce, maybe I overcooked them. Thank you for this interesting recipe. 😊
I'm glad enjoyed them! For the most part... Not sure what happed with the teriyaki. Were they burnt tasting? or Were the soggy?
What genuine guy. Glad I stumbled upon your video! Subscribed ✅
Thanks! and Welcome!
have you ever tried this in the air fryer ? i’m just curious if i could do this recipe in mine
Definitely. The time will be a lot shorter, though. And depending on the size of your air fryer, you will probably need to cook them in a few batches.
Monson Made This noted! much appreciated. keep up the great work!!
It is hard to get the califlower done using the airfryer....you can use frozen califlower and that works well
Paula Tyler yep that’s what i planned on doing thank you !
Amazing! What could I use instead of chickpea flour? Thanks
For this recipe, chickpea flour is key. Other lentil or bean-based flours would work, or in a pinch, rice flour. But chickpea flour is paramount.
@@MonsonMadeThis thank you for your reply, I'll find it first and then I'll make them, they look so yummy
I would use Casava flour.
Thank you! One of the best recipes I've ever made! I tried to APPLAUD but it kept saying "unknown error" (not a username joke btw). The only problem with the recipe is I needed 1/2 cup of water and not 1/4 cup. With 1/4 cup it was still super clumpy and mostly dry!
Aw, than you! I'm flattered. And I'm glad you were able to work it out. Recipes are just jumping off point anyway. Sometimes our own kitchen instincts are necessary to get things to come out how they were meant to.
This is a great recipe, easy to make. Thank you!
Wow yum 😋 delish I'm making this today...I have fresh claiflower...
Cauliflower...lol opps
Omg. I'm mid unpacking my new apt and I find myself FORCED to stop and send my hubby to the grocery store to get these ingredients. I swear I can almost smell them thru the phone
Nice! Congrats on the new apt and your first meal to Christen it.
They look amazing and can't wait to try them myself
I made them and used almond milk instead of water. I made teriyaki and BBQ and I liked the teriyaki the best. That flour has a distinct flavor so I’m going to have to figure out a way to offset that. Thanks for the recipe I don’t want to fry so this was perfect.
Maybe you can toast the flour first and then continue with the recipe. That’s a tip I heard on a different video that used garbanzo bean flour.
@@purityandplants that’s crazy you tell me that today because I’m literally making them tonight for New Years hahaha. I’m going to add some brown sugar this time but I’ll have to try toasting it also. I bought coconut flour so I’m wondering how that will taste also.
@@DaveTheRonin I’d love to hear how they turned out! I’m transitioning to whole foods plant-based and I’m trying to get some staple recipes down.
@@purityandplants I’ll message you this evening after I make them. I’m doing the same, I’m 90 days in and I’m never going back. It’s easy to replace seafood and meat with veggies it just takes a little more preparation time. I don’t eat soy very often either but that’s a personal choice.
@@DaveTheRonin Awesome!
Love this healthy option. No bones & no non-crispy skin. P.S.: You may try a wire rack on top of the parchment paper (no need to flip). Just saying!
These look delicious! I can't wait to make mines.
They're still a bit hit around here. I make them every week or so. Always a hit! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.
That looks really good.
Thank you!
These look delicious! Have you made them in the air fryer?
Thanks! My mom said that she made them in the air fryer, and found that hers was too small, and she had to do too many batches to cook them all. Also, she found that the cauliflower was not cooked by the time the breading was browned. My advice would be to use frozen cauliflower if you want to air-fry. That way the insides cauli is already cooked, and you can air-fry them for less time. From personal experience, though, they do reheat well using an air fryer.
This looks amazing 😻
Thanks!
