4 servings
For the battered cauliflower
- 1 medium head cauliflower (about 2 lbs), cut into 1 ½-inch florets
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup water
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- olive oil spray
For the buffalo sauce
- ½ cup buffalo hot sauce (such as frank's redhot)
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
Chef's tipUse a stick or block-style dairy-free butter - not a soft tub spread - and swap one-for-one. - 1 tsp honey
Chef's tipUse the same amount. Maple syrup is a little thinner and less sticky than honey.
For serving
- celery sticks, for serving (optional)
- blue cheese or blue ranch dressing, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (205°C) for 3 minutes.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, water, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper until a smooth, thick batter forms — it should coat the back of a spoon without dripping off immediately.
