Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 head of cauliflower cut into florets
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup buffalo sauce
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter
  • Optional: ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping

Method
 

  1. Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, water, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until a smooth batter forms.
  3. Toss the cauliflower florets in the batter until well coated.
  4. Arrange the coated cauliflower in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
  5. Meanwhile, mix buffalo sauce with melted butter in a small bowl.
  6. Once the cauliflower is cooked, toss it in the buffalo sauce mixture until evenly coated.
  7. Return the cauliflower to the air fryer for an additional 2-3 minutes for extra crispiness.
  8. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

  • Adjust the spice level by using a milder or hotter buffalo sauce.
  • Don’t overcrowd the air fryer—cook in batches if needed for optimal crispiness.
  • This recipe is best served fresh but can be reheated in the air fryer for a few minutes to regain texture.
