Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 large head cauliflower (florets) Look for firm florets with bright green leaves.
  • 2 pieces eggs (beaten)
  • 1 cup almond flour Can be swapped with regular flour or a gluten-free flour blend.
  • 1/2 cup buffalo sauce Use a milder hot sauce if less heat is desired.
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter Can substitute with olive oil or vegan butter.
  • to taste amount ranch dressing For dipping.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by breaking the cauliflower into florets.
  2. Rinse the florets under cold water and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
  3. In a bowl, beat the eggs until fully combined. Dip each cauliflower floret into the egg, ensuring it is well-coated.
  4. Roll the floret in almond flour until it’s covered completely.
Cooking
  1. Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and allow it to preheat.
  2. Place the almond flour-coated cauliflower florets in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
  3. Spray them lightly with cooking spray to aid in crisping.
  4. Cook for about 15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure they cook evenly and turn golden.
  5. In a small bowl, mix the buffalo sauce with the melted butter.
  6. Once the cauliflower is cooked and crispy, remove it from the air fryer and toss the florets in the buffalo sauce mixture until well coated.
  7. Return the sauced cauliflower florets back to the air fryer for an additional 3-4 minutes.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze for about 2 months. Reheat using the stove top for best results to maintain crispiness.
