Air Fryer Buffalo Cauliflower

Bites of cauliflower are dredged and lightly breaded and air fried. Finally, they’re tossed in buffalo sauce for the perfect snack food. Serve with carrots & celery sticks and ranch or blue cheese dip.

A Favorite Snack

The perfect alternative to buffalo wings, buffalo cauliflower bites are savory and snackable!

We love them because they taste SO GOOD!
They’re air fried (and not deep fried) for extra crisp without all of the fat.
They can be prepared up to 24 hours in advance and cooked just before eating.
Toss them in buffalo sauce or save a few without sauce for anyone in your group who doesn’t eat spice!

How to Make Air Fryer Buffalo Cauliflower

This is the easy part!

Prepare cauliflower into bite-sized pieces.
Whisk batter ingredients. Stir breading ingredients together; set aside.
Toss cauliflower into the batter & let excess batter drip off.
Gently roll each cauliflower piece in breading mixture & place in air fryer. Cook until crispy (per the recipe below.)
Remove cauliflower bites & toss in Buffalo sauce. Return to air fryer & cook another 2-3 minutes.

Buffalo cauliflower bites aren’t the same without a few dips and sauces! Ranch dressing, homemade aioli, honey mustard sauce, and creamy cheese sauce are some of our faves.

No Air Fryer? No Problem!

Oven-Baked Buffalo Cauliflower or Crispy Cauliflower Wings are just as easy as the air fryer version!

Tips for Perfection

Cut or break cauliflower pieces into uniform sizes so they all cook at the same rate.
The batter is very thick, be sure to allow excess to drip off (or even give it a little shake if needed).
Do not overcrowd the basket, cook in batches if needed to ensure that the air has lots of space to circulate.
For a crisper breading, serve with hot sauce on the side for dipping. (Garlicky Aioli is another favorite dip).
