Ingredients

• ⅔ cup all-purpose flour
• ¼ cup cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• ½ teaspoon sea salt
• ¾ cup water
• 1 head cauliflower, broken into large florets
• Buffalo sauce, for brushing
• Vegan ranch, for dipping (optional)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Batter:
   In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and salt. Add the water and whisk until smooth.
2. Coat the Cauliflower:
   Add the cauliflower florets to the batter and stir to coat evenly.
3. Air Fry the Cauliflower:
   Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the battered cauliflower in a single layer in the air fryer basket, leaving a little space around each piece. Air fry for 9 minutes. Remove from the air fryer and use a spatula to carefully flip the florets. Brush with some of the buffalo sauce. Air fry for another 5 to 10 minutes, or until the cauliflower is dark and crisp around the edges.
4. Serve:
   Remove from the air fryer and brush with additional buffalo sauce. Serve with vegan ranch for dipping, if desired.

Pro Tips

• Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in the air fryer to maintain crispiness.
• Flavor Variations: Experiment with different spices in the batter, such as smoked paprika or cayenne pepper, to adjust the heat level.
• Serving Suggestions: Serve with carrot and celery sticks for a classic buffalo experience.
