Air Fryer Buffalo Cauliflower
These Air Fryer Buffalo Cauliflower bites are a fun veggie alternative to chicken wings, saucy and crispy, perfect for parties and game day.
Equipment
- Instant Pot Omni Plus Air Fryer
Ingredients
- ⅔ cup all-purpose flour spooned and leveled
- ¼ cup cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ¾ cup water
- 1 head cauliflower about 2 pounds, broken into large florets
- Buffalo Sauce for brushing
- Vegan Ranch for dipping, optional
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and salt. Add the water and whisk until smooth. Add the cauliflower and stir to coat.
- Lift the cauliflower florets out of the batter, allowing any excess batter to drip back into the bowl. Arrange in a single layer in the air fryer basket, leaving a little space around each floret. Don’t crowd the basket. Work in batches as necessary.
- Air fry for 9 minutes. Remove from the air fryer and use a spatula to carefully flip the florets. Brush with some of the buffalo sauce. Air fry for another 5 to 10 minutes, or until the cauliflower is dark and crisp around the edges.
- Remove from the air fryer and brush with additional buffalo sauce. If desired, serve with vegan ranch for dipping.
Notes
Serve with classic blue cheese dressing or vegan ranch for dipping.
