Ingredients
- 1 large head cauliflower chopped into small-to-medium-sized florets
- ½ cup almond flour or regular flour
- ½ cup water
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp pepper
- ½ cup buffalo-style wing sauce
Instructions
- Start by chopping the large head of cauliflower into small-to-medium-sized florets.
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large bowl, combine almond flour, water, garlic powder, paprika, salt, pepper, and buffalo-style wing sauce. Mix until you have a smooth batter.
- Toss the cauliflower florets into the batter mixture until evenly coated.
- Place the coated cauliflower florets in the preheated air fryer basket. Cook for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crisp.
- Once cooked, transfer the cauliflower bites to a serving plate and enjoy immediately.
Notes
- Pat Dry the Cauliflower: Make sure your cauliflower is dry before tossing it in the batter. Excess moisture can make the coating soggy.
- Don’t Overcrowd: Arrange the florets in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Overcrowding will prevent proper air circulation and result in uneven cooking. Cook in batches if needed.
- Flip Halfway: Turn the cauliflower halfway through cooking for even browning on all sides.
- Serve Immediately: For the crispiest texture, serve the buffalo cauliflower fresh out of the air fryer.
