Crispy and spicy cauliflower bites coated in buffalo sauce, perfect as a vegetarian appetizer.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 head cauliflower, cut into florets
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 cup buffalo hot sauce
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce (optional)
  • Ranch or blue cheese dressing, for serving
  • Celery sticks, for serving

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  2. Gradually whisk in water until a smooth batter forms.
  3. Add cauliflower florets to the batter and toss to coat evenly.
  4. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
  5. Arrange the coated cauliflower in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
  6. Air fry for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
  7. While the cauliflower is cooking, combine buffalo hot sauce, melted butter, white vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce (if using) in a small bowl.
  8. Once the cauliflower is cooked, transfer it to a clean bowl.
  9. Pour the buffalo sauce mixture over the cauliflower and toss gently to coat.
  10. Serve immediately with ranch or blue cheese dressing and celery sticks.

Notes

  • For extra crispy bites, you can double-coat the cauliflower.
  • Adjust the amount of hot sauce to your spice preference.
  • Ensure the cauliflower florets are dry before coating for better adhesion.
