# How-To Steps:
01 - Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir in plant milk until you have a smooth batter.
03 - Dip each cauliflower floret into the batter, shake off excess, then coat in panko breadcrumbs. Arrange on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
04 - Bake for 20 minutes, turning midway for even crisping.
05 - Meanwhile, mix BBQ sauce and maple syrup (if using) in a small bowl.
06 - After 20 minutes, remove cauliflower from the oven. Using tongs, coat each floret generously with BBQ sauce.
07 - Return the cauliflower to the oven and bake for an additional 12-15 minutes, until crispy and caramelized.
08 - While wings bake, make the ranch: whisk together vegan mayonnaise, plant milk, lemon juice, vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, dill, chives, salt, and pepper in a bowl until smooth.
09 - Serve the hot BBQ cauliflower wings with vegan ranch dip on the side.
