Air Fryer Cauliflower Buffalo Wings Recipes

Steps:

• Spray the basket of a 6-quart air fryer with cooking spray and set aside.
• Arrange the cauliflower on a baking sheet and set up a breading station next to it: Fill one shallow bowl with the Parmesan breadcrumbs, another shallow bowl with the panko breadcrumbs and third shallow bowl with the eggs and milk. Whisk together the eggs and milk together until combined.
• Working with several cauliflower florets at a time, roll them in the egg mixture until fully coated, shake off excess egg, then roll them in the Parmesan breadcrumbs until fully coated. Roll them in the egg mixture a second time, shaking off excess egg, and finally, roll them in the panko breadcrumbs until fully coated. Transfer the breaded pieces back to the baking sheet. Repeat until all the cauliflower florets are breaded.
• Preheat an air fryer to 370 degrees F. Preheat your oven to 250 degrees F.
• Pick up each cauliflower floret and spray it all over with nonstick spray, making sure to coat every nook and cranny. Arrange some of the florets in a single layer in the air fryer basket without touching (you will probably have to work in two batches). Air fry the florets, flipping them once, until golden and crispy, about 12 minutes. Transfer the cooked cauliflower to a baking sheet and place in the oven to keep warm. Air fry the remaining cauliflower.
• Meanwhile, melt the butter in a large, shallow microwave-safe bowl, about 1 minute. Whisk in the hot sauce. Add the cauliflower to the bowl and toss to combine with the hot sauce until fully coated.
• For the crispiest results, serve the bites immediately sprinkled with chives with the dressing alongside. As the bites sit, they'll become slightly less crispy, just like wings, but they'll still be just as tasty.

Steps:

• Preheat the air fryer to 425°F (220°C) for 5 minutes.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the cake flour, ½ cup plus 2 tablespoons cornstarch, the baking powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and ½ teaspoon salt. Slowly whisk in the sparkling water until just combined. Do not overmix; some lumps are okay.
• In a large bowl, toss the cauliflower florets with the remaining ¼ cup cornstarch and ½ teaspoon salt.
• Shake off any excess cornstarch, then dip the cauliflower in the wet batter, letting any excess drip off.
• Working in batches, add the cauliflower to the air fryer in a single layer and cook for 5 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from the air fryer and repeat with the remaining florets.
• Meanwhile, make the sauce: Add the hot sauce, butter, and honey to a small skillet. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the butter is melted and the sauce is evenly combined.
• In a large bowl, toss the fried cauliflower with the buffalo sauce until well coated.
• Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
• Enjoy!
