"How-to make Vegan Cauliflower Wings" by Mariah T



I know that since I am a vegetarian I get a lot of questions like “what do I eat?” do “I miss meat” and a whole other abundance of questions that would probably feel up a book. So what I decided is that I am going to take a very popular food that my friends enjoy, AKA wings and just give you my non-meat version of it! I know this could also be helpful for those who are participating in no meat Fridays, people who want to be vegetarian but would like to try a meal to get a taste for it, or just for fun to try to make it. Before I start with my tips, a small disclaimer is I suck at cooking but this is what works for me and what I enjoy! 


STEP 1- Is you want to head over to the store and get some cauliflower, as well as the other
recipes if you aren’t sure what they look like this:
STEP 2- Is then making sure you preheat your oven to 450
STEP 3- Is
you want to break the head of cauliflower into florets, so it’s about 11⁄2-inch.
STEP 4- Getting a large mixing bowl, add the flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and almond milk(this is what I drink, but feel free to add whatever milk you drink!), and stir until well-combined
STEP 5- Is dipping the cauliflower florets into the sauce you just mixed
STEP 6- Is after coating your cauliflower put in the pan and put it in the oven, do ten minutes one side and then take out to flip then put back for another 10 minutes for a total of 20 minutes.
STEP 7- Is while that is baking, get a small mixing bowl and put hot sauce, vegetable oil and stir till everything is mixed.
STEP 8- Is after the cauliflower is done baking, put what you just mixed onto the cauliflower and put back in the oven for another 20 minutes.
Step nine is ENJOY!! You can add more hot sauce or ranch or anything really. Hope you all enjoy if you do decide to try this out!

I've made cauliflower mashed potatoes and used cauliflower as a substitute for rice in fried rice before, but I never thought to make wings out of it! Your recipe seems very simple and is easy to follow. Great job!

This "how- to" is great! I loved how you were able to take a type of food that everyone enjoys and make a non- meat version of this. Although I'm not vegetarian, the steps were easy to follow and it actually sounds delicious. Might have to give it a try!

Sounds delicious! I never knew cauliflower can be a substitute for meat so this is very interesting. Your directions were short and simple, it's easy to understand but i just wished there was a separate ingredients list. I'm glad you shared this recipe! I can't wait to try it.

Thanks for this. I've never heard of a dish like this. I've always wonder how vegan food tasted compared to normal food. You made this recipe easy to make so hopefully i can make it and try out sometime to compare the difference.

wow, thank you for sharing my family and I are starting to become more vegan. This would be great thing to try. I for one miss meat but I'm willing to try new things.

Carly Soos said...

I love this recipe SO much, my mom makes this all the time for small parties and get togethers. I love that you included an intro on why you wanted to do this recipe. I would have liked to see the measurements of each of the ingredients, but besides that, I was thankful for the details of the process. Awesome job!

I found this how to very interesting and unalike from the others. I love that you picked a vegan recipe because we don't usually read about vegan or vegetarian food options. This sounds very appetizing and I want to try and make this myself. Good Job!

You know, I've heard of cauliflower wings before, and while they've always sounded appealing to me, I've never had the chance to make them for myself, as I'm always so busy and haven't had the time to find a decent recipe, until now at least. Your instructions make it seem so easy to make vegan cauliflower wings, I may just have to go make some for myself soon, thanks for the tutorial! :)

After I read this post, I went on YouTube and couldn't stop watching videos on cauliflower wings! I am very picky with my meat but I enjoy all greens - the videos match well with the steps provided and left my mouth watering. My family enjoys fried chicken a lot, however I dislike the taste (but the smell of food is very attracting), so I am glad this is available for me!

I have heard about vegan wings before but wasn't quite sure how they were made so thank you for sharing what seems to be like a delicious recipe! You give easy instructions this sounds awesome!

Unknown said...

Cauliflower is one of my favs and finding it I could make them taste like wings was one of the best things I could have ever discovered after reading and analyzing your recipe I realized that it’s very different from the ones that I have tried overall great job and can’t wait to add this to my list!!!

Elaine Molina said...

I've made these before, the the recipe I used was far more complicated. This was very easy to follow and I can't wait to use this recipe to make them quicker! I liked how easy you made it sound and how you gave the option of changing some things like the hot sauce and milk so that whoever makes this recipe will enjoy it.

Although I'm more of a carnivore than an omnivore, I've thought over recently on trying to lessen the amount of meat I consume on a day to day basis. So I've been glued to Pinterest for no-meat recipes, but it's hard to find any variation with the types of no-meat meals I can choose from. I've yet to see a recipe on vegan cauliflower wings and it's piqued my interest! Thanks for sharing this was really cool to read. :-)

Unknown said...

Cauliflower is such a great substitute for meat! I've tried the buffalo Cauliflower "wings" from California Pizza Kitchen, and they are very delicious. I've been wanting to learn how to make it at home too, so finding your recipe was very convenient for me. The steps seem very simple and easy to follow. Excellent job!

Unknown said...

This sounds bomb! As an avid vegetarian, finding recipes like these that sound fun and delicious is great. Your directions were very easy to follow and the story was even better.

Unknown said...

Although I myself would never be a vegetarian because I love meat, I admire the creativity of food choice and thriftiness that non meat eaters must have and this recipe does not sound all that bad and worth trying. Great post.

Debrina Collins said...

This is a very intriguing entry and I am definitely the complete opposite of a vegan but the title definitely caught my attention. Even if I don’t try this recipe, I appreciated how easy it was to follow and understand. I especially enjoyed the disclaimer I thought it was a cut touch that helped the reader identify with you.

Avalon Freeman said...

I’ve always wanted to try a vegan dish and I’ve been very skeptical about others recipes because sometimes I feel it’s not genuine. Im now thinking that these wings and some vegan Mac and cheese would go really good together. I can’t wait to try this.

Mariah, this recipe is perfect for my mom as she is a vegan as well and is always making comments on how delicious chicken wings appear to be. This recipe is very straight forward and easy. In step 4, you mentioned that you can use any milk you drink but do you think it is okay to use water? This recipe sounds delicious and maybe I will surprise my mom by making this. Fantastic "how-to" guide Mariah!

Destiny Freeman said...

I've heard of recipes with cauliflower substitute, but not with wings which is very interesting. I've always eaten meat, but have never went on vegetarian, and/or vegan diets and cleanses. Whenever I try the diets/cleanses they tend to be short lived due to the very complicated recipes, however this recipe is very easy to follow and simple.

Unknown said...

These sound so tasty and I've been looking for vegan recipes!! You did really well explaining everything step by step and I'm actually going to try this :) Thank you for sharing!!!

Not usually big on vegetarian foods but this definitely is unique and intrigues me. Definitely want to try some!

My mom's boyfriend is a hardcore vegan, so I can't wait to share this recipe with him! I'm sure most of us will probably experiment with new eating patters once we leave for college or gain more independence after high school, so this recipe is very useful. Great organization!

Dylan Nelson said...

My friends moms boyfriend is definitely gonna love this, he loves home style recipes like thanks and I know he’ll start cooking as soon as I show him. I’ll let you know how it tastes! Thanks for the recipe!

Wow this sounds really good! I to am a vegetarian and sometimes I don't really know what to cook for dinner other than a salad. This recipe will definitely go under my belt as something to cook next time I'm not sure what to eat!

Joshua Duque said...

I've had vegan wings in the past and were surprised that I actually like them. Your take on vegan wings sounds really healthy and delicious. I wish there were some measurements stated for the ingredients but other than that the steps were really easy to follow.

Great Piece Mariah! I wish I would have seen this during lent time because this would have been a perfect meal to have had on a Friday. I liked how in the beginning you explained that you were vegetarian and that showed me that you had a personal connection to this "How to". Your tips were very helpful and I'll have to try your cauliflower wings soon!

Wow! this how-to was really interesting. what caught my attention was that youre able to turn wings into something vegan. great work, I think ill make some for myself now!

Unknown said...

I never knew cauliflower could be used as a alternative to meat. I'm not vegetarian, but I'm not a huge fan of meat either, so I'll definitely have to try making it. Also, because there isn't a bone in the middle of the wing, it seems less messy as well.
