Description

Learn how to make delicious and crispy Air Fryer Buffalo Cauliflower Wings with this easy recipe. Perfect for a healthier twist on a classic favorite!


Ingredients

  • 2/3 cup (160 ml) all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon (3 ml) sea salt
  • 3/4 cup (180 ml) water
  • 1 head cauliflower, about 2 pounds (907 g), broken into large florets
  • Buffalo Sauce, for brushing
  • Vegan Ranch, for dipping, optional


Instructions

  1. Start by setting your air fryer to a temperature of 400°F.
  2. In a big mixing bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and salt. Pour in the water and mix until you have a smooth consistency. Add the cauliflower pieces and stir until they are well-coated.
  3. Take the cauliflower florets out of the mixture, letting any extra batter drip back into the bowl. Place them in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring there is space between each piece. Avoid overcrowding the basket and cook in batches if needed.
  4. Cook in the air fryer for 9 minutes. Take them out and carefully turn each floret over using a spatula. Apply a coat of buffalo sauce on them. Continue air frying for another 5 to 10 minutes, or until the cauliflower becomes dark and crispy at the edges.
  5. Take them out of the air fryer and apply more buffalo sauce. If you like, serve with vegan ranch dressing for dipping.

Notes

  • Coat cauliflower evenly with batter for a crispy texture.
  • Use a brush to distribute buffalo sauce evenly for a flavorful taste.
  • Check cauliflower periodically while air frying to prevent burning.
