Ingredients

For the Cauliflower Wings:

For the Teriyaki sauce:

Instructions

  • Start by cutting the cauliflower into florets.
  • In a medium-sized bowl, add the soy milk, flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper. Whisk until well combined. Add the 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 at 350℉.
  • While the cauliflower is cooking, make your teriyaki sauce. Add the water, soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, minced garlic, and minced ginger in a saucepan. Mix well and bring it to a boil. Mix cornstarch with water to make a slurry. Add it to the saucepan and cook on medium-high heat until the sauce becomes thick.
  • Once the cauliflower florets are cooked, pour the teriyaki sauce over the florets and garnish with sliced scallions and sesame seeds.

Notes

  • Don’t skip the batter! The flour and milk batter helps the panko crumbs stick properly, giving you that extra crispy cauliflower coating.
  • Use panko crumbs, not regular breadcrumbs. Panko creates a lighter, crunchier texture that works better for air fryer cauliflower wings.
  • Lightly spray with oil before air frying. A quick mist of oil over the breaded cauliflower wings helps them turn golden and crisp.
  • Let the teriyaki sauce thicken properly so it clings to the wings without making them soggy. For crispy cauliflower wings, drizzle the sauce and toss lightly. Avoid soaking them heavily, which can soften the panko crust.
