Equipment

Ingredients
Batter Ingredients
- ⅔ cup all-purpose flour spooned and leveled
- ¼ cup cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ¾ cup water

Instructions
Cooking Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and salt. Add the water and whisk until smooth. Add the cauliflower and stir to coat.
- Lift the cauliflower florets out of the batter, allowing any excess batter to drip back into the bowl. Arrange in a single layer in the air fryer basket, leaving a little space around each floret. Don’t crowd the basket. Work in batches as necessary.
- Air fry for 9 minutes. Remove from the air fryer and use a spatula to carefully flip the florets. Brush with some of the buffalo sauce. Air fry for another 5 to 10 minutes, or until the cauliflower is dark and crisp around the edges.
- Remove from the air fryer and brush with additional buffalo sauce. If desired, serve with vegan ranch for dipping.
Notes
These bites are a great party snack and can be served with classic blue cheese dressing or vegan ranch.
