Air fryer buffalo cauliflower results in crispy and crunchy cauliflower bites every time. It's the perfect game day appetizer or snack!
Ingredients
1 large head cauliflower (chopped into small-to-medium sized florets (about 4 cups))
½ cup all purpose flour (gluten free 1:1 flour will work too)
½ cup water
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon sea salt (plus more to taste)
¼ teaspoon black pepper
½ cup buffalo-style wing sauce (I used Tessemae’s Buffalo sauce)
Method
1
Wash and chop cauliflower into 1-inch florets. Try to make all the florets about the same size so that they cook evenly. Pat dry.
2
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, water, garlic powder, paprika, salt and pepper. Add cauliflower florets and toss to coat.
3
Preheat air fryer if required. Add coated cauliflower to air fryer basket in a single layer and cook on 400°F until crisp, about 10 minutes, flipping halfway. You might need to cook in batches depending on how big your air fryer basket is.
4
Remove cauliflower florets from air fryer and add them back into the same large mixing bowl. Pour buffalo sauce over the cauliflower and toss to coat.
5
Add cauliflower back to air fryer in a single layer and cook for another 5-7 minutes, until crisp, checking at the 5 minute mark.
6
Serve cauliflower wings with dipping sauce of choice (I prefer ranch or blue cheese) with a side of celery and/or carrot sticks.
