Cauliflower in a sweet and spicy marinade, the vegan or vegetarian alternative to chicken wings

Make buttermilk by mixing milk with vinegar or lemon juice and setting it aside for a moment. Preheat the oven to 225°C (425°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Shred the cauliflower into 3-5 cm pieces. In a large bowl, combine 1 small coffee cup of flour with the baking soda, granules, and seasonings. Add the buttermilk and mix well until no lumps remain. Add the cauliflower to the bowl and stir well until all the pieces are coated. Place on the parchment paper, making sure there is enough space between the florets. Place in the oven for 20-25 minutes until golden brown, turning halfway through. Meanwhile, prepare the marinade. Mix honey or agave syrup with the hot sriracha sauce and oil. Remove the cauliflower from the oven and add it to the bowl with the marinade. Stir, then return it to the oven for another 15-20 minutes. This is the perfect meatless finger food snack for parties, TV nights, or while watching the Super Bowl. Serve with sour cream, ranch dressing, or a good garlic sauce.
