This Air Fryer Buffalo Cauliflower is a deliciously crispy and spicy appetizer that's perfect for game day or a healthy snack!

Ingredients

Dry 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.
  • Whisk together flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and salt. Add water and whisk until smooth. Stir in cauliflower to coat.
  • Lift cauliflower out of batter, allowing excess to drip. Arrange in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
  • Air fry for 9 minutes, flip florets, brush with buffalo sauce, and air fry for another 5 to 10 minutes until crisp.
  • Remove, brush with more buffalo sauce, and serve with vegan ranch if desired.

Notes

For extra crispiness, ensure not to overcrowd the air fryer basket.
