Crispy Air Fryer Buffalo Cauliflower

These air fryer buffalo cauliflower bites bring all the tangy, spicy heat of buffalo wings in a crispy vegetarian form. The air fryer crisps the florets, then a quick toss in buttery hot sauce makes them irresistible — perfect for game day or a meatless snack.

Serve with ranch or blue cheese. For another crispy veg side, try our air fryer Brussels sprouts.

How to get crispy air fryer buffalo cauliflower

After one too many soggy air-fryer dinners, she started testing every recipe in her own kitchen, tweaking times, temps and seasoning until each one comes out crispy and golden the first time. No chef training, just a lot of batches and an air fryer that never gets a day off.
