Servings 2 people

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Small head cauliflower (broken into small florets) or use 1/2 large cauliflower
  • 4 tbsp Maple syrup
  • 3 tbsp Light soy
  • 2 tbsp Mirin (you can use apple cider vinegar with a pinch of sugar)
  • 1/2 tsp Cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 tsp Paprika
  • 1/2 tsp Onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp Garlic powder

To Serve

  • 2 Spring onions (thinly sliced)
  • 1 tbsp Toasted sesame seeds
  • 1 tsp Chilli flakes

Instructions
 

  • Place the cauliflower in a large bowl, add the maple syrup, light soy, mirin, cayenne pepper, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder and salt and pepper to taste. Leave to marinade for at least 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, preheat the oven to gas mark 6/200℃/400℉ and line a large baking tray with grease-proof paper. Remove the cauliflower from the marinade and spread evenly across the baking tray. Cook for 20 minutes at the top of the oven.
  • Put the remaining marinade into a small saucepan and cook on medium for 2-3 minutes, until slightly thickened and a syrup like consistency. Remove the cauliflower from the oven after 20 minutes and brush the wings with the marinade mixture. Return to the oven and cook for a further 5 minutes.
  • Serve with spring onions, sesame seeds and chilli flakes sprinkled over the wings.
