Description
A delicious and crispy treat made with cauliflower, coated in a spicy buffalo sauce and cooked in an air fryer.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 medium head of cauliflower, cut into florets
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup buffalo sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
- Gradually add water to the dry ingredients, mixing until a smooth batter forms.
- Dip each cauliflower floret into the batter, ensuring it is well-coated.
- Place the battered cauliflower florets in the air fryer basket in a single layer. You may need to do this in batches.
- Spray the florets lightly with olive oil to help them crisp up.
- Air fry for 12-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the cauliflower is golden brown and crispy.
- In a large bowl, toss the cooked cauliflower with buffalo sauce until evenly coated.
- Return the cauliflower to the air fryer for an additional 3-5 minutes to set the sauce.
- Remove from the air fryer and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
Notes
- For a milder flavor, use a mild buffalo sauce or mix it with ranch dressing.
- Add a sprinkle of shredded cheese on top of the cauliflower during the last few minutes of cooking for a cheesy twist.
