Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole milk, salt, pepper, and garlic powder until you achieve a smooth batter.
  2. Dip each cauliflower floret into the prepared batter, ensuring they are entirely coated.
  3. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes, which is key for ensuring those wings cook evenly.
  4. Air fry the coated cauliflower bites for 15 minutes, giving them a delightful golden-brown color and a crispy texture.
  5. While the cauliflower is cooking, heat sesame oil in a saucepan over medium heat and add soy sauce, rice vinegar, maple syrup, cornstarch, and vegetable stock.
  6. Carefully remove the cauliflower from the air fryer and toss it in the sticky sesame sauce until every piece is nicely coated.
  7. Transfer the coated cauliflower wings to a serving platter and garnish with sesame seeds and chopped spring onions.
