Ingredients:

• 1 medium head of cauliflower, cut into florets
• 1 cup of plant-based milk (such as almond or soy milk)
• 1 cup of all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour for a GF option)
• 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon of onion powder
• 1 teaspoon of paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon of salt
• 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
• 1 cup of buffalo sauce (vegan-friendly)
• 2 tablespoons of melted vegan butter or olive oil
• Optional: ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping

Instructions:

Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the plant-based milk, flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper until a smooth batter forms.

Dip each cauliflower floret into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated. Shake off any excess batter.

Place the coated cauliflower florets in a single layer in the air fryer basket. You may need to cook them in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.

Air fry the cauliflower for 15-18 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time. Cook until they are golden brown and crispy.

While the cauliflower is cooking, in a separate bowl, combine the buffalo sauce and melted vegan butter or olive oil.

Once the cauliflower bites are crispy and golden, transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Pour the buffalo sauce mixture over the cauliflower bites and toss gently until they are well coated.

Return the coated cauliflower bites to the air fryer for an additional 5 minutes to allow the sauce to caramelize slightly.

Remove the cauliflower bites from the air fryer and let them cool for a few minutes. Serve them with ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping, if desired.
