Ingredients

For the Cauliflower

  • 4 cups cauliflower florets ~1 medium head
  • 1 cup blanched superfine almond meal
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
  • 2 large eggs

For the Buffalo Sauce

  • 3 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1/2 cup Franks Hot Sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey

Instructions

  • First, prepare cauliflower by cutting it into small, bite-sized pieces.
  • Next, place almond meal, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper into a medium bowl and whisk to combine. Whisk 2 eggs in another medium bowl.
  • Prepare cauliflower wings by tossing cauliflower pieces in the egg wash to fully coat them. Then, place a couple of pieces of cauliflower into the almond meal bowl at a time. Use a spoon to carefully spoon the mixture on top of the cauliflower, coating it fully. Repeat until all cauliflower is coated in the mixture.
  • Preheat the air fryer to 370ºF and spray the pan with nonstick cooking spray. Once preheated, place half of your cauliflower wings onto the bottom of the pan and spray the tops with nonstick cooking spray. It's okay if they are touching, but you'll have to cook these wings in 2 separate batches.
  • Air fry cauliflower wings at 370ºF (or 375ºF depending on the air fryer) for 12-15 minutes, tossing halfway through. You know your wings are done when they begin to brown and crisp up.
  • While your wings are air frying, prepare buffalo sauce. Melt 3 tablespoons of butter and then mix it with Frank's Hot Sauce and honey. Stir to combine.
  • Once your wings are done air frying, toss them in the buffalo sauce.
  • Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
