Air Fryer Buffalo Cauliflower: An Incredible Ultimate Recipe for 2023


  • Author: Emma Carter
  • Total Time: 31 minute

Ingredients

– 1 large head of cauliflower, cut into florets
– 1 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour for a gluten-free option)
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– 1/2 teaspoon paprika
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1 cup water (or non-dairy milk for added creaminess)
– 1 cup buffalo sauce (store-bought or homemade)
– Cooking spray (for air frying)


Instructions

Follow these simple steps to create your delicious Air Fryer Buffalo Cauliflower:

1. Prep the Cauliflower: Break the cauliflower head into small florets, ensuring they are roughly the same size for even cooking.
2. Make the Batter: In a large bowl, mix the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and water (or non-dairy milk) until smooth.
3. Coat the Florets: Dip each cauliflower floret into the batter, allowing any excess to drip off.
4. Preheat the Air Fryer: Set the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and let it preheat for about 5 minutes.
5. Air Fry the Cauliflower: Place the battered florets in a single layer in the air fryer basket. If necessary, work in batches to avoid overcrowding.
6. Cook: Air fry for 12-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
7. Add the Buffalo Sauce: Once golden and crispy, transfer the cauliflower to a large bowl. Pour the buffalo sauce over the florets and toss until evenly coated.
8. Return to Air Fryer: Place the sauced cauliflower back in the air fryer and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes to set the sauce.
9. Serve Immediately: The cauliflower is best enjoyed fresh, crisp, and hot from the air fryer.
