Homemade Buffalo Air Fryer Cauliflower
There is something incredibly satisfying about that first crunch into a piece of Air Fryer Buffalo Cauliflower. These bite-sized florets are transformed into golden, crispy nuggets that are absolutely drenched in a tangy, spicy buffalo glaze.
Ingredients
- 1 large head Cauliflower cut into florets
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- ½ cup Buffalo wing sauce
- ¼ cup Cornstarch or Almond flour
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- ½ tsp Smoked paprika
- ¼ tsp Salt and black pepper
- Optional: Chopped green onions and lime wedges for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large bowl, toss the cauliflower florets with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Sprinkle the cornstarch (or flour) over the cauliflower and toss again until evenly coated.
- Place the cauliflower in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
- Air fry for 12–15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the edges are golden and crispy.
- In a clean bowl, toss the hot cauliflower with the buffalo sauce until well-coated.
- Return to the air fryer for 1–2 additional minutes to let the sauce caramelize.
- Garnish with green onions and serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
