Broccoli Wings Recipe (vegan) (2024)

FAQs

What are vegan wings made of? ›

Most vegan chicken wings are made from soy protein or seitan. Seitan is a high-protein vegan meat substitute made from vital wheat gluten. Vital wheat gluten is the natural protein found in wheat. While you can make wings using tofu alone, the seitan is what provides the most meat-like texture and chewiness.

They should be about half the size of traditional chicken wings but still bite-sized. If you cut them too small, they end up becoming mushy and won't crisp up as nicely when you bake them in the oven. Use a colander to drain the cauliflower after coating it with batter.

Vegan Menu Items:

Cauliflower wings, roasted Garlic sauce, no Parmesian, with steamed broccoli side. Discounted M-F on lunch menu.

Sugar cane sticks – These are the “bones” that will stick out of the vegan wings. Instead of sugar cane, use bamboo chopsticks or skewers, pretzel sticks, or thin bread sticks. You can prevent the alternatives from burning in the oven by wrapping them with a small piece of tinfoil. Or keep them “boneless”.

The new dish can be ordered with five vegan dips: Buffalo, Chipotle, Smoky BBQ, Hickory & Brown Sugar, and Hot Chili.

Unfortunately, in most cases, the answer to that question is yes. Most hot sauces are perfect for a vegan diet, composed of cayenne pepper, vinegar, and many other plant-based ingredients. Buffalo sauce, however, is a cayenne-based hot sauce with an extra special ingredient, that being equal parts butter.

Vegan Buffalo Wings are my new obsession. Made with cauliflower florets and tossed in delicious hot buffalo sauce, they are the perfect healthy snack or appetizer for Super Bowl Sunday. Because they're baked instead of fried, you can feel great about eating them too!
