TIPS FOR AIR FRYER BUFFALO CAULIFLOWER BITES
DO NOT crowd the air fryer pan# If you crowd it, the cauliflower bites will turn out soggy# This is why you want to cook the cauliflower in two batches# You need to have enough air flow to go all around each piece#
For more crunch, put cauliflower bites under the broiler for # minutes, then serve#
Ingredients:
- 1 head cauliflower, cut into florets (you'll need about 4 to 5 cups)
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 cup Frank's Red Hot Sauce (originally called for 1/2)
- 1/2 cup gluten free flour
- 3 tablespoons dried parsley
- 1/2 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Lawry's Seasoning Salt (or kosher salt)
Instructions:
- Place cauliflower florets in a large mixing bowl and set aside.
Melt butter; stir in olive oil and hot sauce until thoroughly combined.
Pour the hot sauce mixture over the cauliflower; mix around until all cauliflower florets are coated.
In a separate bowl whisk together almond flour, dried parsley, garlic powder, and seasoning salt.
Sprinkle about a handful at a time of almond flour mixture over the cauliflower; gently mix until everything is coated.
Transfer half of the prepared cauliflower to the air fryer.
Air fry at 350˚F for 15 minutes, shaking a couple times during the cooking process. Cauliflower is done when the florets are a bit browned, but not mushy. (May want to try 400 F - still mushy after :20 at 350, finally got crispy after an additional :10 at 400)
Remove cauliflower from the Air Fryer; set aside and keep covered.
Repeat the same process with the remaining cauliflower florets.
Serve with celery sticks and your favorite bleu cheese dressing.
