Equipment

  • Mixing Bowls
  • Air Fryer

Ingredients
  

Cauliflower
  • 24 oz Cauliflower florets About 2 heads, cut up
  • 4 Eggs
  • 1/3 cup Corn starch
  • 6 tbsp Flour
  • 2 tsp Baking powder
  • 4 tsp Hot sauce
  • Pinch Salt and pepper
Buffalo Sauce
  • 1/2 cup Frank's Red Hot Sauce or hot sauce of choice
  • 2.5 tbsp Smart Balance
  • 1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp Garlic powder

Instructions
 

Cauliflower:
  • Cut up, wash, and dry your cauliflower. You want small and medium sized florets.
  • In a medium sized mixing bowl, beat eggs and mix in corn starch, flour, baking powder, and hot sauce until batter is smooth. It should be roughly the consistency of pancake batter.
  • Spray air fryer trays well with cooking spray (or lined with parchment sheets, foil, etc). Preheat to 370.
  • Dip each floret in the batter, coating entirely. Place on air fryer tray, spray well, and air fry at 370F for 14-15 minutes, until golden brown and fully cooked.
Sauce:
  • Melt Smart Balance in a microwave safe bowl (about 20 sec in the microwave).
  • In a mixing bowl, combine hot sauce, melted Smart Balance, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic powder. Mix well to combine.
Assembly:
  • Toss cooked cauliflower in sauce. Air fry again at 370 for 4-5 minutes, to crisp it up. Serve immediately and enjoy!
