I made these air fryer buffalo cauliflower “wings” for our Meatless Monday meal and they were a huge hit with the entire family. I loved how easy they were to prepare.
These were so flavorful, I almost forgot they were cauliflower. These were so quick and easy to make in the the air fry!
These cauliflower bites were really good! I love that an actual buffalo sauce was made too instead of using premade stuff
I’ve been looking for new ways to prepare vegetables and frankly this dish was delectable.
I’ve been seeing this trend float around and your recipe is by far the best I’ve tried. Crispy, seasoned/flavorful and the buffalo flavor was the perfect amount of heat. Will definitely make this again!
As someone who is always looking for healthy alternatives to my favorite snacks, these were absolutely amazing. So crispy and tangy!
