Ingredients
– 1 medium head of cauliflower, cut into florets
– 1 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour)
– 1 cup water
– 1 tablespoon garlic powder
– 1 tablespoon onion powder
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1 teaspoon pepper
– 1 cup buffalo sauce
– 2 tablespoons olive oil (optional, for additional flavor)
– Fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create the most incredible Air Fryer Buffalo Cauliflower:
1. Prepare the Cauliflower: Wash and cut the cauliflower head into bite-sized florets. Pat them dry to remove excess moisture.
2. Make the Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Gradually add the water and whisk until smooth. The batter should be thick enough to coat the florets.
3. Coat the Cauliflower: Dip each cauliflower floret into the batter, ensuring they are well coated. Allow any excess batter to drip off.
4. Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
5. Arrange in Air Fryer: Place the coated cauliflower florets in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding to ensure even cooking.
6. Air Fry: Cook the cauliflower for 12-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
7. Prepare Buffalo Sauce: While the cauliflower is cooking, combine the buffalo sauce and olive oil (if using) in a bowl.
8. Toss in Sauce: Once the cauliflower is done cooking, transfer them to the bowl with the buffalo sauce. Toss gently to coat the florets evenly.
9. Final Crisp: Return the sauced cauliflower to the air fryer and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes to crisp up the coating.
10. Garnish and Serve: Remove from the air fryer, garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve immediately.
