Instructions
Creating Air Fryer Buffalo Cauliflower is simple! Follow these steps for a perfect result:
1. Prepare the Cauliflower: Wash and cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets.
2. Mix the Coating: In a large bowl, combine flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
3. Add Milk: Gradually stir in the almond milk and mix until you have a smooth batter.
4. Coat the Cauliflower: Dip the cauliflower florets into the batter, ensuring each piece is well covered.
5. Add Breadcrumbs: In another bowl, add breadcrumbs. Take each coated floret and roll it in the breadcrumbs until fully covered.
6. Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 3-5 minutes.
7. Arrange in Air Fryer: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with olive oil. Place the cauliflower florets in a single layer in the basket, making sure they don’t touch each other.
8. Air Fry: Cook for about 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through for even cooking.
9. Add Buffalo Sauce: Once the cauliflower is golden and crispy, remove it from the air fryer and toss it in a bowl with the buffalo sauce until evenly coated.
10. Final Cook: Return the coated cauliflower to the air fryer for an additional 2-3 minutes to set the sauce.
