You guys have no idea how excited I am to share another cauliflower wings recipe. Mango Habanero Cauliflower Wings, at that! If you’re familiar around here, then you guys know I love these. My first vegan cauliflower wings completely blew up and went viral – a recipe which I’ve made more times than I could possibly count. But if you have no clue what I’m talking about, let’s get into it. You’re about to go on a TASTY ride.
What are cauliflower wings?
Cauliflower wings are vegan wings/vegan bites that are breaded; seasoned and fried/baked that taste surprisingly reminiscent of chicken wings. I know, hard to believe, until you try one. I have a friend that years later, is still marvelling at the cauliflower wings I made for her and is convinced she was eating meat! If you love these, you’ll definitely love my BBQ Cauliflower Wings too! They’re magical, crave-worthy, and a delicious low calorie treat. The best part about them is that you can dress them up and dip them into many difference sauces, for endless variety! They make the perfect finger food for football games, parties or just a night of you vs cauliflower wings. Guaranteed you’ll both win that one.
For today’s variety, I opted for Mango Habanero flavour. It was my favourite flavour to order before going vegetarian/vegan years ago so I thought – why not give it a spin?! I based the sauce off of my Buffalo cauliflower wings sauce with a few changes. For the mango portion of the sauce, I immediately reached for my favourite salad dressing – BRIANNAS Organic Mango Vinaigrette. This is reason #45610 why I LOVE BRIANNAS Organic Mango Vinaigrette. . We’ve been using it for so many months now and honestly, the possibilities are endless. Apart from drizzling it all over the salads, I use it as a dip, a spread, and even a sauce for so many meal prep meals that we make. It works perfectly in these Cauliflower wings because it packs both a sweetness and a mango flavour, making the sauce so much easier to make and so flavourful! Apart from its flavour, BRIANNAS Organic Mango Vinaigrette. is my preferred dressing because it has no corn syrup, no gluten, it’s all vegan and even kosher. I mean, we’re talking an all-in-one win, am I right? I’m right.
How to Make Cauliflower Wings
Making these wings is pretty straight forward. Set up your breading and dredging station and dip the cauliflower until breaded. Bake off. Meanwhile, you can make the sauce 5 minutes before it comes out. Heat up the BRIANNAS Organic Mango Vinaigrette with some vegan butter and habanero sauce. Also feel free to use any hot sauce you have, just keep the heat level in mind. Heat together on a stovetop and set aside – all done! Then all that’s left is to coat the cauliflower in the sauce and bake for 5 more minutes. That extra 5 minutes kinda caramelises the sauce a bit and lets it really sit into the cauliflower. Then BAM – done! Now comes the hardest part – try not to eat the whole thing in one sitting. Just kidding, I’ve totally done that. Eat up and enjoy friends!
