Instructions

Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
Prepare the Cauliflower: In a large bowl, toss cauliflower florets with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Cook in the Air Fryer: Arrange the cauliflower in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Ensure they’re not overcrowded. Air fry for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
Toss in Buffalo Sauce: Once the cauliflower is crispy and golden, transfer it to a bowl and toss with buffalo sauce until evenly coated.
Serve: Serve immediately with your favorite dip or veggie sticks.

Notes

BBQ Cauliflower: Swap buffalo sauce with BBQ sauce for a smoky flavor.
Asian-Inspired Cauliflower: Toss with soy sauce, sriracha, and sesame oil for an Asian twist.
