Ingredients
Cauliflower Wings
- 1 head of cauliflower (about 2 cups, chopped into florets)
- 1/2 cup buffalo sauce
Coating & Seasonings
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Prep the Cauliflower: Chop the cauliflower head into bite-sized florets. Wash thoroughly using a fruit scrub or rinse well to remove any dirt, pesticides, or bugs. Dry the florets completely to ensure crispiness.
- Coat with Buffalo Sauce: Place the dried cauliflower florets in a large mixing bowl. Pour the buffalo sauce over them, tossing well to coat each floret thoroughly so no white is visible.
- Prepare the Flour Mixture: In a separate large bowl, combine almond flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Mix until fully blended.
- Coat Cauliflower with Flour Mixture: Add the buffalo-sauced cauliflower to the almond flour mixture. Toss thoroughly, ensuring each piece is evenly coated with the seasoned flour.
- Arrange in Air Fryer: Place the coated cauliflower florets in a single layer inside the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding the basket to prevent sogginess and promote even crisping.
- Air Fry: Cook at 350°F (175°C) for 20 minutes, checking occasionally to ensure even cooking. Remove once golden and crispy.
- Serve: Remove from air fryer and serve immediately with ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping. Enjoy your crispy, flavorful buffalo cauliflower wings!
Notes
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; leave space between each piece to achieve crispy texture.
- Ensure each cauliflower floret is fully coated with buffalo sauce and the seasoned almond flour for maximum flavor.
- Best served immediately for optimal crispiness; leftovers may lose crunch but can be reheated.
