Method

1

Cut cauliflower into 1½-inch florets and pat dry with paper towels.

2

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.

Add water to the flour mixture and stir until a smooth, thick batter forms (like pancake batter).

4

Toss cauliflower florets in the batter until evenly coated.

5

Preheat air fryer to 400°F for 3 minutes.

6

Arrange battered cauliflower in a single layer in the air fryer basket (work in batches if needed) and air-fry for 15–18 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until golden and crispy.

7

In a small bowl, whisk together buffalo sauce and melted butter.

8

Transfer cooked cauliflower to a large bowl and toss with buffalo-butter sauce until evenly coated.

9

Transfer to a serving platter and garnish with chopped green onions. Serve immediately with celery sticks and blue cheese dressing on the side.

Optional: toss in cooked protein (chicken, shrimp, or tempeh) before serving if making this a main dish.
