Ingredients

Main Ingredients

1 head head of cauliflower, cut into florets Choose a fresh head for better taste.
1 cup buffalo sauce Adjust the heat level to your liking.
1 tablespoon olive oil This helps the seasoning stick well.
1 teaspoon garlic powder For that delightful garlicky flavor.
1 teaspoon paprika Adds a mild smoky touch.
to taste Salt and pepper Essential for new flavor depth.
optional Celery sticks and ranch dressing for serving This cools down the heat!

Method

Preparation

Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
Toss cauliflower florets with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.
Mix in the buffalo sauce until the cauliflower is well coated.

Cooking

Arrange cauliflower in the air fryer basket in a single layer and cook for 12-15 minutes. Shake halfway through for even crispiness.
Serve hot, with celery sticks and ranch dressing if desired.

Notes

To perfect your Buffalo Cauliflower, ensure to choose a fresh cauliflower head and cut the florets into similar sizes for even cooking. Don’t skip the olive oil; it helps the spices adhere better. For extra crunch, consider giving it a light spray of cooking oil halfway through cooking. Enjoy eating it right away, as its crispiness diminishes once it cools.
