Air Fryer Buffalo Cauliflower
Ingredients
Instructions
- Add cauliflower to a large bowl. Drizzle with avocado oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Air fryer ½ of the cauliflower at 380F for 10-15 minutes, shaking basket halfway.
- While cauliflower is cooking, mix buffalo sauce with ranch seasoning and set aside.
- Once all cauliflower is cooked, toss with sauce and serve hot. Serve with ranch on the side if desired.
Notes
- Add more or less buffalo sauce depending on your desired level of heat and how spicy you want them.
- Make ahead: The ingredients are super easy to prep. You can have all of the items ready and throw in the air fryer when you want to make them.
- Storage: Store in an air tight container for up to 2 days in the refrigerator. Note that refrigerating them will take away any crisp so you may want to broil them to crisp them up a bit.
- Reheating: Reheat in the air fryer at 380F for 3-4 minutes or until heated through.
