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!
