Instructions
Creating Crispy Air Fryer Buffalo Cauliflower Bites is straightforward if you follow these steps:
1. Prepare the Cauliflower: Remove the leaves and stem from the cauliflower. Cut it into bite-sized florets.
2. Make the Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, water, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
3. Coat the Cauliflower: Dip each cauliflower floret into the batter, ensuring it’s fully coated. Let the excess batter drip off.
4. Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
5. Arrange in the Air Fryer: Place the coated cauliflower florets in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding for even cooking.
6. Cook: Air fry the cauliflower bites for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even crisping.
7. Add Buffalo Sauce: Once cooked, transfer the cauliflower bites to a large bowl. Drizzle with buffalo sauce and toss until well coated.
