Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium head of cauliflower – cut into bite-sized florets
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 3/4 cup buffalo sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter – melted
  • Cooking spray

Instructions

  1. Chop the cauliflower into bite-sized pieces making sure they’re similar in size for consistent cooking.
  2. Whisk together flour water and the seasonings until you get a smooth batter that can coat the cauliflower easily.
  3. Dip the cauliflower florets into the batter making sure each one is fully covered then shake off excess.
  4. Preheat the air fryer to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and spray the basket lightly with cooking spray.
  5. Arrange the coated cauliflower in a single layer in the air fryer basket and cook for 12 to 15 minutes shaking the basket once halfway to ensure even crisping.
  6. Combine the buffalo sauce and melted butter in a bowl while the cauliflower cooks.
  7. Toss the cooked cauliflower in the buffalo sauce mixture so each piece is well coated.
  8. Serve immediately with your favorite dip like ranch or blue cheese along with celery sticks if desired.

Notes

  • Cauliflower Size: Cut the cauliflower into similar-sized florets to ensure even cooking
  • Buffalo Sauce: Adjust the amount of buffalo sauce according to your spice preference
  • For a milder version mix the buffalo sauce with additional butter
  • Crispiness: For extra crispy cauliflower you can air fry the coated cauliflower florets for an additional 2-3 minutes before tossing them in the buffalo sauce
  • Serving Suggestion: Buffalo cauliflower is perfect as an appetizer snack or a side dish and pairs well with cooling dips like ranch or blue cheese
  • Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days Reheat in the air fryer to retain crispiness
