Vegan wings? No problem!

You can easily make this recipe vegan-friendly with some simple ingredient swaps. Instead of using beaten eggs to dip the cauliflower florets, you can use any unsweetened plant milk like soy or almond.

Instead of using parmesan cheese for flavor, you can substitute with nutritional yeast. This will add a cheesy, rich flavor while making these wings completely vegan too!

Storing leftover wings

These cauliflower wings are best served immediately after they come out of the oven. This is to keep them crispy and hot.

However, if you are left with wings at the end of dinner, you can store and use them in tacos or wraps over the next few days.

Refrigerate for up to 3 days in an airtight container before use.
