For extra crispy cauliflower, consider using a combination of all-purpose flour and cornstarch. Adjust the amount of buffalo sauce to your preferred level of spiciness. Serve with vegan ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping.
Transform humble cauliflower into a fiery, flavor-packed sensation with this air fryer marvel. Crispy on the outside, tender within, and cloaked in tangy buffalo sauce, it's a vegan delight that will set your taste buds ablaze!
Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). (2 minutes)
In a large bowl, gently toss the cauliflower florets with the liquid egg substitute, ensuring they are evenly coated. (3 minutes)
In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Seal the bag tightly and shake vigorously to thoroughly mix the dry ingredients. (2 minutes)
Add half of the cauliflower florets to the bag of seasoned flour. Seal the bag and shake until each floret is evenly coated in the mixture. Transfer the coated florets to the air fryer basket, being careful not to overcrowd. Lightly spray the tops with nonstick cooking spray. (5 minutes)
Air fry for 5 minutes. Flip the cauliflower florets, spray any dry spots with cooking spray, and continue to cook for another 5 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Repeat with the remaining cauliflower florets. (12 minutes)
While the cauliflower is air frying, gently heat the buffalo wing sauce in a small saucepan over medium heat until warm. (5 minutes)
Transfer the cooked cauliflower to a large bowl. Pour the warm buffalo sauce over the top and toss gently until all the florets are evenly coated in the flavorful sauce. Serve immediately, and enjoy the crispy, spicy goodness! (3 minutes)
