MacOS Booting

A few years back, I went on an adventure to use only windows on my mac mini as I had no use for it otherwise at the time. I used bootcamp to get into the windows installer and wiped the drive and all its contents related to MacOS and went on my way. Here I am now, needing to reinstall MacOS and not being able to access the recovery partition in macOS and here I am. I could have tried to just use online recovery mode but I am not sure how that works anyway. So what are my options??
