Ingredients

1 head - cauliflower
1 cup - unsweetened almond milk
1 cup - all purpose flour
½ tsp - garlic powder
½ tsp - paprika
½ tsp - salt
3 tablespoons - dairy free butter
½ cup - hot sauce
½ tsp - garlic powder

Instructions

Pre-heat your air fryer to 375 degrees F.
In a large bowl, mix together the almond milk, flour, garlic powder, paprika, and salt.
Dip the cauliflower florets into the batter, making sure to let any excess drip off.
Line the air fryer basket with parchment paper and place the cauliflower in the air fryer, making sure not to overcrowd them. Cook for 14-16 minutes, or until the cauliflower is crisp and golden brown.
Remove the cauliflower from the air fryer, and let it cool for a few minutes (2-3 minutes) before saucing.
In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the butter.
Turn off the heat and add the hot sauce and garlic powder. Whisk until combined and warmed. Set it aside to cool for a few minutes (2-3 minutes).
Place the cauliflower and buffalo sauce in a large bowl and toss to combine. Serve immediately.
For an extra crunch, sprinkle over 1/4 cup of Panko breadcrumbs after battering the cauliflower, but before frying them.
