Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Air Fryer Buffalo Cauliflower
- Begin by cutting a large head of cauliflower into bite-sized florets, ensuring they are roughly uniform for even cooking. Set aside the florets as you prepare the remaining ingredients.
- In a bowl, combine 1/2 cup of Frank’s RedHot Sauce with 2 tablespoons of melted butter, whisking until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup of cornstarch, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, and a pinch of kosher salt. Toss the cauliflower florets in this dry mixture until well-coated.
- Drizzle the prepared buffalo sauce mixture over the coated cauliflower florets. Toss gently to ensure every piece is evenly covered.
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes. Lightly spray your air fryer basket with cooking oil to prevent sticking.
- Place the coated cauliflower florets into the air fryer basket in a single layer, giving them space to crisp up without overcrowding.
- Air fry the cauliflower for approximately 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking.
- While the cauliflower cooks, mix the blue cheese, 1/4 cup of sour cream, 1/4 cup of buttermilk, and 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise in a bowl. Blend well until smooth.
- Once cooked, remove the hot Air Fryer Buffalo Cauliflower from the basket and let it rest for a minute. Serve immediately with your creamy dressing on the side.
