Air Fryer Buffalo Cauliflower Wings

What Are Air Fryer Buffalo Cauliflower Wings?

Typically, buffalo wings are made with chicken; but, for us plant-based baddies out there we had to come up with a good substitute. Enter, cauliflower wings. Basically, buffalo cauliflower wings are cauliflower florets covered in a crispy and seasoned batter, and then cooked in the air fryer instead of the oven or deep-fried (although, those are still options).

But…What About Protein?

If you aren’t a huge fan of cauliflower buffalo wings and want to add some more protein to this recipe, you can use baked tofu as the base instead!

How to Make Air Fryer Buffalo Cauliflower Wings

  1. To make batter for your air fryer buffalo cauliflower wings, simply mix all batter ingredients in a bowl with a fork or whisk until well combined.
  2. Then, break up your cauliflower head into large florets and dip them in the batter, making sure they are completely covered. Tap each wing against your bowl before placing it on your cooking tray lined with parchment paper so that the excess batter drips off.
  3. Then, pop your wings into an airfryer at 400 degrees for 20 minutes or in an oven at 450 degrees for 25 minutes.
  4. Remove your wings and let them cool before covering them in buffalo sauce.
  5. Throw your wings back in the airfryer or oven for another 10 minutes or so for delicious crispy wings!
  6. I normally add a little more buffalo sauce at the end too before serving. Viola! You have delicious crispy buffalo cauliflower wings.

    Made this for the Super Bowl one year! And everyone loved it, especially the vegetarians who found it refreshing to have wings that they could eat.
