AirFryer Buffalo Cauliflower Bites

There is a way to have a delicious flavor packed snack for football games, as an appetizer or whenever with these amazing buffalo cauliflower bites that are AIR FRIED !!

Since we are in lockdown mode, I figured it was time to break out the AirFryer that had been sitting in my basement since Christmas 2018.

I couldn’t get it to work the first time and within mere minutes it found itself isolated in a dark corner.

I’ve seen a lot of cauliflower recipes that call for a thick batter and they are fried or baked.  But there really is no need for all those calories and extra work.

Some things are better left simple.

These cauliflower bites are simply delicious!  No, they are not chicken wings and aren’t meant to be or replace them.  But they are still delicious !

Here is a simple step by step to demonstrate just how fast and easy this really is.

• Step 1 – Coat the florets in buffalo sauce and melted butter
• Step 2 – Coat them in breadcrumbs
• Step 3 – Air fry in 2 batches for approx 10 minutes
• Step 4 – Eat!

Due to the air fryers technology these things come out so crispy and there is very little oil involved, no frying, no baking.  It really surprised me, to be honest, just how good these came out.

I hope you guys try these buffalo bites, and if you’re anything like me, having a little extra buffalo sauce on the side always helps!
