Ingredients:

  • 1.5 lb cauliflower, cut into bite-sized florets
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 cup cayenne pepper sauce
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper

Instructions:

  1. Clean and dry the cauliflower thoroughly. Cut into uniform bite-sized pieces to ensure they cook at the same rate.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the cauliflower florets with olive oil until lightly coated.
  3. In the same large bowl, whisk together the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  4. Slowly pour in the almond milk, whisking until the batter is smooth and resembles a thick pancake batter.
  5. Toss the cauliflower florets into the batter, stirring gently until every piece is fully submerged and coated.
  6. Preheat the air fryer to 390°F (199°C).
  7. Place florets in the air fryer basket in a single layer and cook for 17 minutes, shaking halfway through until the crust is mahogany and firm.
  8. Combine the cayenne pepper sauce, melted butter, maple syrup, and cayenne pepper in a medium bowl.
  9. Toss the cooked Air Fryer Cauliflower Wings in the buffalo sauce until evenly coated and serve immediately.
