Air Fryer Buffalo Cauliflower (No Breading)

Air Fryer Buffalo Cauliflower offers a spicy, tangy snack or side by coating cauliflower florets in a seasoned buffalo sauce without breading before air frying. The cooking method crisps the edges while keeping the cauliflower tender inside. This recipe provides a lower-prep alternative to breaded buffalo cauliflower with bold flavors that work well with creamy dips.

Description

The recipe calls for slicing half a head of cauliflower into bite-sized florets, which are then tossed in buffalo sauce mixed with garlic powder and salt. The air fryer cooks the coated florets at 380°F, producing a crisp exterior from the sauce’s coating without additional breading. This method enhances the natural cauliflower texture with a spicy, savory finish.

The cauliflower comes out tender but firm, with a slightly roasted flavor from the air fryer’s concentrated heat. This makes it suitable as an appetizer, snack, or a side dish paired with creamy sauces that complement the heat and tang of the buffalo seasoning.
