Sticky Gluten-Free Pomegranate Glazed Cauliflower Wings

These Sticky Gluten-Free Pomegranate Glazed Cauliflower Wings are what vegan dreams are made of! They are so indulgent, so comforting and so versatile. You can eat them as they are as a side, top them on your rice or noodles, or on your quinoa salad.

These sticky cauliflower wings are sweet and sour, with a slight crunch and complemented perfectly with the background taste of orange.

What’s Pomegranate Molasses?

Pomegranate molasses is used to glaze meats normally. It’s quite sharp, so sweetness added to it is required to break through the acidity, hence the reason I have added a few tablespoons of maple syrup + orange juice.
I am a huge fan of pomegranate molasse, as I treat it the same way with vegetables like cauliflower instead of meat,.

You can find it almost anywhere these days, but I like getting mine from amazon.

How To Make These Cauliflower Wings?

The method is simple, dip the cauliflower florets in a batter, bake them, then finish them with the pomegranate glaze in a pan. Simple, and yet bursting with flavor!
