Cauliflower Fish Wings Recipe

Been craving some juicy wings lately but couldn’t find an easy and equally good vegan recipe for it? Worry no more. 

Let’s get some Cauliflower Fish Wings cooking. But don’t let the name cauliflower “fish” wings fool you. This cauliflower and fish recipe is delicious, healthy, and, most importantly, vegan. It’s bound to quench your cravings for some authentic fish wings and may tempt you to reach out to the bowl for more. 

It's safe to say, this vegan cauliflower wings recipe is “the perfect vegan amalgamation of the traditional buffalo wings and fish wings recipe”, but instead of meat/chicken, we have cauliflower at its heart. It can also substitute for a healthy snack as the cauliflower is baked instead of deep-fried. 

Once your batter is thick and ready, all you have to do is coat the cauliflower florets in it, pop it into your oven and wait for it to get crispy brown on the outside. The recipe just demands 20 minutes of your time, and then voila, you have this delicious vegan cauliflower and fish recipe that would make a perfect appetizer or a quick snack, all depending on your mood. 

How do the cauliflower fish wings taste?

Let’s get real. 

Cauliflower fish wings aren’t going to taste exactly like the traditional fish wings. Mainly because the chicken was substituted with a plant-based product - cauliflower - and cauliflower, as you know, doesn’t taste anything like chicken.

But does this vegan cauliflower wings recipe taste better, and will you go back for me after an initial taste?

For that, we give it a green flag.

When you bite into that cooked cauliflower fish wing floret, you can hear the crunch from the coating, and as you sink your teeth in, the cauliflower is still soft and has soaked up most of the flavor from the batter. 

Further, the incorporation of nori sheets in this cauliflower and fish recipe gives it an umami, oceany taste that reminds you of the seafood flavor of the authentic fish wings. So even if you aren’t a vegan, you would keep wanting more of this cauliflower awesomeness. 

Now let’s see what ingredients you need to get the batter done.
