Crispy and flavorful cauliflower bites air-fried to perfection, tossed in spicy buffalo sauce and served with cool ranch dip. A healthy and satisfying snack or appetizer.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium head cauliflower, cut into florets
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup ranch dressing
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  3. Add the water and stir until a smooth batter forms.
  4. Add the cauliflower florets to the batter and toss to coat evenly.
  5. Arrange the coated cauliflower in a single layer in the air fryer basket. You may need to cook in batches.
  6. Air fry for 12-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the cauliflower is tender and golden brown.
  7. While the cauliflower is cooking, whisk together the buffalo wing sauce and melted butter in a bowl.
  8. Once the cauliflower is cooked, transfer it to the bowl with the buffalo sauce and toss to coat.
  9. Return the coated cauliflower to the air fryer and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce is slightly caramelized.
  10. Serve the buffalo cauliflower bites immediately with ranch dressing for dipping. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

  • For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the flour mixture.
  • If you don’t have buffalo wing sauce, you can make your own by combining hot sauce and butter.
  • Feel free to adjust the amount of buffalo sauce to your preference.
  • For a vegan option, use a vegan ranch dressing and ensure your buffalo sauce is dairy-free.
