  2. Coat the cauliflower with the buffalo sauce mixture and place in a single layer on a lined baking sheet.
  3. Bake for 35-40 minutes (until done and is crisp at the edges with a little bite still or until it reaches your desired doneness) turning a couple of times during baking.

Notes

  • Cut the cauliflower to the same size so they cook at an even rate.
  • Shake the air fryer basket halfway through cooking so that they crisp up on all sides.
  • Pat cauliflower florets dry with paper towels before adding any seasoning so the seasoning sticks.
  • Make sure the cauliflower wings are not touching inside the air fryer basket. This allows maximum air circulation inside the fryer, so your cauliflower bites will cook evenly and turn out nicely crispy.
  • Start with a milder hot sauce and use just a couple of tablespoons if you are worried about it being too hot.
  • But if you really want to bring the heat, go ahead and add extra buffalo sauce.
  • Keep a close eye on these, as they can burn easily if cooked too long.
  • Storage - keep in an airtight container inside the fridge for 4 days.
  • There are 0 WW Blue Plan SmartPoints in one serving of this.
