Air Fryer Buffalo Cauliflower

  5.0 – 4 reviews  • Fried

Similar to how my mother used to cook them, these Southern collard greens are boiled slowly with ham hocks.

Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 30 mins
Servings: 4

Ingredients

  1. ½ cup Buffalo wing sauce (such as Frank’s®)
  2. 1 tablespoon butter, melted
  3. 1 teaspoon honey
  4. 1 (2 pound) cauliflower, broken into florets
  5. ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  6. ¼ cup cornstarch
  7. 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  8. ½ teaspoon seasoned salt (such as LAWRY’S®)
  9. ¼ teaspoon paprika
  10. drizzle of buffalo wing sauce (optional)

Instructions

  1. Combine hot sauce, butter, and honey in a large bowl, and whisk until well combined. Add cauliflower florets and stir until well coated.
  2. Combine flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, seasoning salt, and paprika in a separate bowl, stirring well. Gradually sprinkle the flour mixture over the cauliflower florets, tossing until all florets are coated.
  3. Preheat the air fryer to 390 degrees F (195 degrees C). Spray the fryer basket with olive oil spray or line with a parchment liner.
  4. Transfer cauliflower florets to the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd the basket, so they’ll crisp up and not turn soggy.
  5. Air fry for 10 to 15 minutes, shaking the basket several times until the florets are lightly browned. They should be crispy, but not overcooked or mushy. You may have to cook in batches depending on the size of your air fryer. Time may vary depending on the size and brand of your air fryer.
  6. Give the cauliflower a light drizzle of buffalo wing sauce when they come out of the air fryer, if desired. Serve with your choice of a creamy dipping sauce.

I went with 15 minutes for cook time. Did the shake twice at 5 minute intervals. Made exactly as directed. BOOM! These are just wonderful. Side of Blue Cheese for dipping in this house, but these little buggers stand on their own without dipping sauce. For my hot sauce, I used Frank’s.

It was very good. I would use less hot sauce since I don’t like a lot of “kick”.
Michael Thomas
Easy and very tasty
Hannah Butler
I loved the flavor and the texture. So easy to fix! This will become a regular since it was a hit with the family.
