Teriyaki Cauliflower Wings

You will be surprised by how delicious cauliflower is when covered in teriyaki sauce. It is a meaty vegetable and has quite a bite when cooked in the air fryer like this. These can be made as a delicious appetizer or side dish for any meal and can be made fairly quickly. You can also use a different sauce if you prefer, and it will work just as well. I hope your family loves this one!

Teriyaki Cauliflower Wings Recipe

Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 20 minutes
Servings: 4

Ingredients Cauliflower Wings:

• 1 cauliflower head
• 1.5 cups panko breadcrumbs
• 1 cup milk, of your choosing (I used soy milk)
• ½ cup flour
• ½ tsp garlic powder
• ½ tsp onion powder
• ¼ tsp salt, or to taste
• ¼ tsp black pepper, or to taste
• 1 Scallion, for garnish

1 tbsp sesame seeds, for garnish

Ingredients Teriyaki sauce:

• ½ cup water
• ¼ cup soy sauce
• ¼ cup brown sugar
• 2 tbsp honey
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp ginger, minced
• 1 tbsp corn starch (optional if you want to make the sauce sticky – not used in recipe)

Instructions:

• Start by cutting the cauliflower into florets.
• In a medium sized bowl, add the milk, flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper. Whisk until well combined.
• Add your cauliflower florets to the bowl with milk and cover all florets.
• Then put your cauliflower in the panko crumbs and make sure all florets are covered with the panko.
• Place the florets in the air fryer in a single layer. 
• Air fry for 20 minutes on 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
• While the cauliflower is cooking, make your teriyaki sauce.
• Add the water, soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, minced garlic, minced ginger in a sauce pan and cook on medium-high heat until the water has evaporated and the sauce becomes thicker. This can take about 10-15 minutes.
• Once the cauliflower florets are cooked, pour the teriyaki sauce over the florets and garnish with sliced scallions and sesame seeds.
