Ingredients

Dry Batter:

  • 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

Wet Batter:

  • Vegan Ranch, for dipping, optional

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Air Fryer: Set the air fryer to 400°F.
  2. Prepare Batter: In a large bowl, mix the dry batter ingredients, then add water to create a smooth batter. Coat cauliflower in batter.
  3. Air Fry First Round: Air fry cauliflower for 9 minutes.

  • Adjust the buffalo sauce amount to suit your spice preference.
  • For extra crispiness, consider a second coat of batter before air frying.
