Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 head of cauliflower (about 2 cups)
  • 1/2 cup buffalo sauce

Seasonings and Coating

  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 cup almond flour

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cauliflower: Chop the cauliflower into bite-sized 'wings' and wash thoroughly, using a fruit scrub if desired, to remove any pesticides or impurities. Dry completely.
  2. Coat with Buffalo Sauce: Place cauliflower wings into a large mixing bowl and pour buffalo sauce over them, tossing to coat each piece thoroughly until no white shows.
  3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate large bowl, combine almond flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Mix well.
  4. Coat Cauliflower in Flour Mixture: Add the buffalo-coated cauliflower into the almond flour mixture and toss until every piece is evenly coated.
  5. Arrange in Air Fryer: Place coated cauliflower wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring not to overcrowd to avoid sogginess.
  6. Air Fry: Cook at 350°F for 20 minutes, allowing the cauliflower to crisp up and cook through.
  7. Serve: Remove from the air fryer and serve immediately with ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping. Enjoy your crispy gluten free buffalo cauliflower!
