Ingredients

  • 1 cauliflower head
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour or almond flour for keto
  • ½ cup plant-based milk soy or almond milk
  • ½ cup water
  • 1 tsp. italian seasoning
  • salt
  • 1 tsp. cayenne
  • 1 tsp. pepper
  • 1 tsp. garlic powder
  • 3 tbsp. hot sauce or buffalo sauce
  • 1 tsp. vegan butter or olive oil (optional)
  • some tabasco

Directions

  1. Cut cauliflower into drumstick or wing size florets. Don’t make them too small or they collapse on cooking.
  2. Add the ingredients of breading together. Mix well. Now dip the cauliflower florets to coat them well.
  3. Heat Air fryer to 390 F or 200 C for about 4 minutes. Place the dipped florets in a single layer on the air fryer basket after brushing it with oil.
  4. You could use parchment paper to avoid sticking. Air fry for 10 minutes at 200C or 390F till the coating is cooked and so is the cauliflower.
  5. You will air fry for 2 minutes more after brushing with the sauce.
  6. Preheat the oven at 400 F for about 10 minutes. Line a baking tray with parchment paper and bake for about 15-20 minutes till browned. Turn once in the middle. You can broil for 3-5 minutes more if you want even more browning.
  7. Meanwhile prepare the Buffalo sauce by adding 1 tbsp. vegan butter or olive oil to 3 tbsp.
  8. Hot sauce or Buffalo sauce with a few squirts of Tabasco. I told you this was spicy. Mix well.
  9. Once your cauliflower is done, you can brush the hot sauce all over the cauliflower florets and air fry for 1-2 minutes more.
  10. This is optional. Otherwise, just brush with the hot sauce and serve it right away with a nice ranch or mayo dip.
