AIR FRYER CAULIFLOWER BUFFALO WINGS RECIPE BY TASTY
Meet your newest air fryer obsession. These cauliflower buffalo wings are super crunchy, packed with flavor, and the perfect healthier alternative to traditional wings. We use cake flour instead of all-purpose flour for a lighter, crunchier breading. However, if you're in a pinch, you can use all-purpose. Be careful not to overmix the batter or you could end up with a dense, soggy coating.

Steps:
- Preheat the air fryer to 425°F (220°C) for 5 minutes.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the cake flour, ½ cup plus 2 tablespoons cornstarch, the baking powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and ½ teaspoon salt. Slowly whisk in the sparkling water until just combined. Do not overmix; some lumps are okay.

- Air fry the cauliflower florets until they are golden brown and crispy: This usually takes about 10-12 minutes.
