Ingredients
Instructions
1. Wash and dry the cauliflower, then cut into uniform florets.
2. In a bowl whisk together flour, milk, salt, and pepper to form a smooth batter.
3. In a separate bowl combine breadcrumbs, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
4. Dip each floret into the batter, allowing excess to drip off, then coat evenly in the breadcrumb mixture.
5. Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and lightly spray the basket with olive oil.
6. Arrange coated florets in a single layer in the basket, avoiding overcrowding, and spray tops lightly with oil.
7. Air-fry for 12–15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until golden and crisp.
8. Transfer hot florets to a bowl, drizzle with buffalo sauce, and toss gently to coat.
9. Serve immediately with ranch, blue cheese, or vegan dip and celery sticks.
