How to Prepare BBQ Cauliflower Wings [Vegan, Gluten Free, Oil Free]

For the Cauliflower:

Preheat oven to 450F. Steam frozen cauliflower to thaw or use fresh. Make sure it is in nice floret pieces (not too tiny).
Mix batter thoroughly in a mixing bowl until smooth like a waffle batter. Dip each floret to fully coat, gently tap off excess into batter bowl.
Arrange on a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Bake in hot oven for about 15 minutes, flip all pieces with a spatula and bake another 10 minutes. If adding a sauce, like BBQ sauce for wing style cauliflower, baste the cauliflower bites with some of the sauce and return to the oven for 10 more minutes.
Remove from the oven and baste with more sauce. Serve with spicy vegan mayo.

For the Spicy BBQ Sauce:

Stir all sauce ingredients together in a bowl. Use as sauce to baste the wings.
