Ingredients
- 1 head cauliflower cut into florets
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley optional, for garnish
Buffalo Sauce
- 1/3 cup hot sauce of choice
- 1/4 cup vegetable broth
- 2 Tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup honey or agave
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 375 degrees F.
- Cut the cauliflower into small florets.
- Mix together the ingredients for the buffalo sauce in a large bowl.
- Place the cauliflower florets in the buffalo sauce and let them soak for about 3-5 minutes, coating evenly.
- Place a single layer of the cauliflower florets in the air fryer and cook for about 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Repeat with the remaining cauliflower.
- Top with fresh or dried parsley and serve with your favorite sauce!
Notes
- Add more sauce to the cauliflower when you turn the cauliflower halfway through the cooking process for even more flavor!
- Another option is to use 1 - 1.25 cups store-bought buffalo sauce instead of making your own.
- Make sure not to overcrowd the cauliflower bites in the air fryer, as this prevents them from really getting as crispy as possible!
