Instructions
Creating Air Fryer Buffalo Cauliflower is straightforward if you follow these steps:
1. Prepare the Cauliflower: Wash and cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets. Pat dry with a paper towel.
2. Make the Batter: In a large bowl, mix flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Whisk in water (or plant-based milk) until smooth.
3. Coat the Cauliflower: Dip each cauliflower floret into the batter, ensuring it’s fully coated. Shake off any excess batter.
4. Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer for about 5 minutes at 375°F (190°C).
5. Air Fry the Cauliflower: Arrange the battered cauliflower in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Spray lightly with olive oil. Cook for 12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
6. Add Buffalo Sauce: After 12 minutes, remove the cauliflower from the air fryer and place it in a bowl. Drizzle the buffalo sauce over them, tossing to coat well.
7. Final Cook: Return the coated cauliflower back to the air fryer and cook for an additional 8 minutes or until crispy and golden.
8. Serve: Once done, remove from the air fryer and let cool for a minute before serving.
