Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 tablespoon paprika
2 teaspoons cayenne
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons mustard powder
2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons onion powder
cauliflower florets
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup buttermilk
60 g all purpose flour
1 tablespoon louisiana hot sauce
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
1 teaspoon light brown sugar
⅓ cup canola oil
nonstick cooking spray
white bread
dill pickle chip
air fryer

Steps:

  • Make the spice mix: In a small bowl, whisk together the paprika, cayenne, garlic powder, mustard powder, black pepper, and onion powder.
  • Add the cauliflower florets to a large bowl and sprinkle with the salt and 2 tablespoons of the spice mix, tossing to coat the cauliflower completely. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top.
  • Make the batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, flour, and hot sauce until smooth.
  • Add a cauliflower floret to the batter and toss to coat completely.
  • Shake off any excess batter and dip the cauliflower into the panko bread crumbs tossing to coat completely.
  • Spray the air fryer basket with nonstick spray. Add the cauliflower in a single layer, working in batches if necessary. Fry until golden and crispy, about 15 minutes.
  • Make the spicy oil: In a small saucepan, combine 1 tablespoon of the spice mix, the sugar, and canola oil. Cook over medium heat, stirring, for about 2 minutes, until the sugar dissolves.
  • Drizzle the crispy cauliflower with the spicy oil and sprinkle with the remaining spice mix.
  • Serve with white bread and dill pickle chips.
  • Enjoy!
