Air Fryer Buffalo Cauliflower

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs 1 large head of cauliflower (core removed & cut into florets)
  • 2 tbsp butter (melted)
  • 1/2 cup red hot sauce (like Frank's)
  • 1/4 cup white or whole wheat flour
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp paprika (smoked or regular)
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • Cooking spray (I use Misto)
  • Yogurt blue cheese dressing (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat air fryer at 400 F degrees. To a large bowl, add cauliflower florets.
  2. In another small bowl combine melted butter and red hot sauce; stir. Pour over cauliflower and using tongs stir very well to coat.
  3. In another small bowl, add flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, paprika and salt; stir well to mix. Sprinkle 1/4th of it over the cauliflower and using tongs stir well to coat. Repeat with remaining flour mixture adding it in small increments until it runs out.
  4. Spray air fryer basket with cooking spray well and transfer cauliflower into it in a single layer. You will have to cook it in a few batches, depending on the size of your air fryer. Air fry for 12 minutes at 400 degrees F.
  5. While buffalo cauliflower is roasting, prepare blue cheese dipping sauce. Serve immediately with celery and carrot sticks, if you wish.
