This rendition of crunchy Air Fryer Buffalo Cauliflower is light on the hitter and easy to make. Dunk it in veggie lover farm or your most loved velvety vegetarian dressing.
What I am not distraught about is breading. I'm the weirdo that pulls the greater part of the breading off of seared okra, and I ended up doing likewise with the Buffalo cauliflower I was making.
Be that as it may, when you pull the breading off of Buffalo cauliflower, you're pulling off the flavor!
When I began chipping away at my very own formula for air fryer Buffalo cauliflower, I realized that negligible breading and greatest flavor were my principle objectives. I needed this formula to taste progressively like cauliflower and less like breading, in light of the fact that cauliflower is flavorful!
Ingredients :
For the Cauliflower
- 4 cups cauliflower florets - Each one should be approx. the size of two baby carrots, if you put the baby carrots side-by-side.
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs mixed with 1 teaspoon sea salt - I would not use regular salt here. Sea salt grains are bigger, and they add a little extra crunch to the breading.
For the Buffalo Coating
- 1/4 cup melted vegan butter - 1/4 cup after melting
- 1/4 cup vegan Buffalo sauce - Check the ingredients for butter. I used Frank's Red Hot
- vegan mayo - Cashew Ranch, or your favorite creamy salad dressing
- Melt the vegan butter in a mug in the microwave, then whisk in the buffalo sauce.
- Holding by the stem, dip each floret in the butter/buffalo mixture, getting most of the floret coated in sauce. It's fine if a bit of the stem doesn't get saucy. Hold the floret over the mug until it pretty much stops dripping. A few drips are OK, but if it's raining sauce, your panko is going to get clumpy and stop sticking as well.
- Dredge the dipped floret in the panko/salt mixture, coating as much as you like, then place in the air fryer. No need to worry about a single layer. Just drop it in there.
- Air fry at 350F (do not preheat) for 14-17 minutes, shaking a few times, and checking their progress when you shake. Your cauliflower is done when the florets are a little bit browned.
- Serve with your dipping sauce of choice.
