Crispy Cauliflower Wings with Sweet Chili Sriracha Sauce
Crispy cauliflower wings are the perfect plant-based alternative to classic chicken wings. They’re crunchy on the outside, tender on the inside, and packed with bold flavors. This easy baked version skips deep frying while still delivering that satisfying crispiness everyone loves.
The cauliflower is coated in a lightly spiced batter made with cumin, smoked paprika, and coriander, then rolled in breadcrumbs and baked until golden. Once out of the oven, the wings are tossed in a creamy sweet chili sriracha sauce that balances heat, sweetness, and richness perfectly.
These cauliflower wings are great as a vegan appetizer, party snack, or casual dinner. Serve them fresh from the oven with extra sauce on the side, or pair them with a simple salad for an easy plant-based meal. Whether you’re cooking for vegans or non-vegans, these wings are always a hit.
