Instructions
Let's get right to making your Air Fryer Buffalo Cauliflower! Follow these simple steps:
- Prepare the Cauliflower: Start by washing and cutting the cauliflower into bite-sized florets.
- Make the Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth.
- Coat the Cauliflower: Dip each cauliflower floret into the batter, ensuring it's well-coated. Allow excess batter to drip off.
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 380°F (193°C) for about 5 minutes to preheat.
- Arrange in the Air Fryer: Lightly coat the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Place the coated cauliflower florets in a single layer; avoid overcrowding.
- Air Fry: Cook the cauliflower for 12-15 minutes until golden and crispy, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking.
- Prepare the Buffalo Sauce: While the cauliflower is cooking, mix the buffalo sauce with olive oil in a small bowl.
- Toss in Buffalo Sauce: Once the cauliflower is done, transfer it to a mixing bowl and drizzle the buffalo sauce mixture. Toss gently to coat evenly.
- Return to Air Fryer: Place the sauced cauliflower back in the air fryer for 2-3 minutes to further crisp up.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the cauliflower from the air fryer and garnish with chopped parsley, if desired.
