Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Cut cauliflower into uniform bite-sized florets.
  2. Toss the cauliflower florets with olive oil in a mixing bowl until evenly coated. Add seasonings if desired.
  3. Place seasoned florets in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Air fry for 12-15 minutes, shaking halfway.
  4. Transfer cooked florets to a bowl, pour buffalo sauce over and toss until coated.
  5. Optional: Return the coated cauliflower to the air fryer for an additional 2-3 minutes for extra crispiness.
  6. Plate hot cauliflower and garnish with fresh herbs if desired. Serve with ranch or blue cheese dip.

Notes

Ensure florets are of uniform size for even cooking. Adjust buffalo sauce gradually to manage spiciness.
