Equipment

  • Instant Pot Omni Plus Air Fryer

Ingredients
  

  • ⅔ cup all-purpose flour spooned and leveled
  • ¼ cup cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • ¾ cup water
  • 1 head cauliflower about 2 pounds, broken into large florets
  • Buffalo Sauce for brushing
  • Vegan Ranch for dipping, optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the air fryer to 400°F.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and salt. Add the water and whisk until smooth. Add the cauliflower and stir to coat.
  • Lift the cauliflower florets out of the batter, allowing any excess batter to drip back into the bowl. Arrange in a single layer in the air fryer basket, leaving a little space around each floret. Don’t crowd the basket. Work in batches as necessary.
  • 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.
  • Remove from the air fryer and brush with additional buffalo sauce. If desired, serve with vegan ranch for dipping.

Notes

Great for parties and game day.
