Ingredients Needed to make these Easy Cauliflower Wings Air Fryer.

Pantry staples can definitely be used. I am also providing the links to the products used by me in this recipe for a quick reference.

Cauliflower- I have used a fresh , organic Cauliflower. Wash well , Cut them in florets (not small you want a nice wing ). Pat Dry on a lint free Kitchen towel.

Chickpea Flour – This is a very healthy Ingredient , as it is a gluten free, grain free flour. It helps coat all the Spices well onto the Cauliflower Florets. The Chickpea flour is used widely in India to make all kinds of fritters. You could air fry with this as well as Fry in oil. I prefer the Air frying method.

Gluten Free Panko Breadcrumbs – I have been experimenting with a lot of gluten free ingredients these days. My Teenager has had gluten Intolerance . This variety of Japanese style Gluten free Panko works well with Air frying. Love the texture.

Oil – Oil just adds the necessary fat , to make these Easy Cauliflower Wings Air fryer more flavourful. Since we are using a vegetable and not meat , there isn’t any fat that can help give the crisp texture. You can replace oil with any plant based milk too. Any oil from the pantry works too. I prefer using neutral oils .

Smoked Paprika – This adds a mildly smoky , spicy flavour to the Barbecue Spice blend . I like to make my own blend as I can control the heat and salt content.

Sweet Paprika- Mildly Sweet , spicy this adds a kick to the spice blend. I like this Spanish paprika . Its a gluten free product i love to use. I also added Chilli powder for extra kick (optional)

Cajun Seasoning- A perfect mix of Garlic, thyme, paprika and onion. It is also Gluten free and gives amazing results with chicken or Vegan Wings. I love the McCorick Cajun Seasoning

Ginger and Garlic Mince – You could use a store bought paste or even a homemade fresh Ginger and garlic grated or minced.This just adds another level of freshness and taste. The Easy Cauliflower Wings Air fryer is packed with flavour .

Turmeric– I like to add turmeric to the blend of spice . You can totally avoid this . I just like to add Turmeric as its a good way to eat this amazing spice .

All purpose Seasoning- I used a salt free all purpose seasoning. I always keep this spice handy . A lot of my recipes like the Stuffed Cheesy Mushrooms , or the Chicken tenders I use all purpose seasoning. In all my recipes.

Salt – The quintessential seasoning without which any dish is bland and tasteless. I prefer using a range of salts . Here I used the Himalayan Pink salt.

Pro tips to make the perfectly Crunchy Easy Cauliflower wings Air fryer.

Wash and clean the cauliflower well. Pat dry the florets. Soggy and wet florets will make the chickpea flour batter watery resulting in Soft wings.
Cut the florets into even sizes . Even sizes result in thorough cooking and crispy outside and tender inside Cauliflower wings.
Do not over crowd the air fryer basket. This ensures even and better cooking.
Coat the chickpea batter evenly on each floret. Make sure to season the Panko well . A layer upon layer of seasoning helps to get a flavour packed Easy Cauliflower Wings air fryer.

Instructions to make the Best Easy Cauliflower Wings Air Fryer.

Prepare the cauliflower– Wash and clean the Cauliflower. Cut them into equal sized Florets . Pat the florets well on a kitchen towel . This helps to remove the excess water ensuring crispy wings.

Make the Chickpea Flour paste- In a large bowl add the dry chickpea flour. The seasonings – Smoked paprika, sweet paprika, Chilly powder (optional) , Ginger garlic mince ,All purpose seasoning , Cajun seasoning, salt , turmeric powder, oil. Mix together.

Add about 1/4 cup of water and make a thick batter. The batter needs to coat the florets evenly.

Prepare the Gluten free Panko . I strongly recommend Seasoning the Panko as the outer layer of wings need to be seasoned well to eat even without a sauce. We like to eat them crunchy.

Add the Cauliflower Florets into the Chickpea flour paste. Coat the florets well in this flavour rich batter.

Add Each florets into the bowl of Seasoned Panko .Coat each floret well with this .

Now place each floret into a parchment lined air fryer basket .

Close the Lid of the Air Fryer and Air fry the wings at 200 deg C/ 350 deg F for 8 to 10 minutes.

Or until you achieve a golden hue and crunchy crispy edges. Tender and cooked to perfection.
