Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 medium head cauliflower, cut into bite-sized florets
  • 3/4 cup plant-based milk
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend)
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt, a pinch

Buffalo Sauce

  • 1/3 cup natural hot sauce
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 tsp natural gelling agent

Additional

  • Olive oil spray

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Cauliflower: Cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets, ensuring they are uniform in size for even cooking. Pat dry thoroughly to help the batter stick effectively.
  2. Mix the Batter: In a bowl, whisk together plant-based milk, all-purpose flour, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt until smooth to make the batter for coating.
  3. Coat the Cauliflower: Dip each cauliflower floret into the batter, ensuring even coverage. Shake off any excess batter before placing them in the air fryer basket to avoid sogginess.
  4. Air Fry the Cauliflower: Lightly spray the coated florets with olive oil spray. Air fry at 400°F for 15-20 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden brown and crispy on all sides.
  5. Prepare the Buffalo Sauce: While the cauliflower cooks, whisk together natural hot sauce, apple cider vinegar, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce, and natural gelling agent to create a thick, tangy buffalo sauce.
  6. Toss and Serve: Once cauliflower is crispy, gently toss in the buffalo sauce until each piece is generously coated. Serve immediately for best crunch and flavor.

Notes

  • Ensure cauliflower florets are dry before battering to maximize crispiness.
  • Cut florets to uniform size to ensure even cooking.
  • Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket for proper air circulation.
  • Coat the cauliflower thoroughly in batter to lock in texture.
  • Toss cauliflower gently in sauce to maintain crispy coating.
