Looking for a healthy appetizer packed with flavor? Well, if you know me, you know I LOVE buffalo sauce. These buffalo cauliflower bites have the perfect crunch with a spicy kick. These are sure to please your guests, some may even think they are buffalo wings. The trick to these is leaving them in the air fryer until they are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

LET’S MAKE THE BUFFALO CAULIFLOWER BITES
Ready for your “healthy” buffalo wings? Here we go. First up, in a medium mixing bowl, add in the flour, chili powder, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper and water. Whisk together until it is smooth. The batter should be thick enough to cover the cauliflower. Grab all of your cauliflower florets and dip them in the batter, shake off the excess batter and place on parchment paper. If your air fryer needs to be preheated, do that now and continue dipping your cauliflower into the batter. Once you are ready, place the cauliflower in the air fryer basket. Make sure the bites do not touch each other or they will stick together. This recipe required a few batches for me. Cook the buffalo cauliflower bites for 10 minutes, flipping over halfway through.
But first, while they cook let’s make the buffalo sauce. In a smaller mixing bowl, add in your buffalo sauce and avocado oil and mix together. When the cauliflower is done with its first round in the air fryer, take it out and coat the florets with the buffalo sauce. Toss it very well. Return to the air fryer and cook for another 10-15 minutes. Just until the cauliflower buffalo bites are crispy! Take them out, serve with some ranch and celery and enjoy!
