Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 medium head of cauliflower broken into florets - about 4-5 cups
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup almond milk
  • 2 cups panko bread crumbs
  • 2 cups of your favorite wing sauce

Instructions

  • Preheat the air fryer to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Mix all-purpose flour, garlic powder, kosher salt, onion powder, paprika, and black pepper in a large bowl. Slowly whisk in milk, until you get a loose but slightly thick batter.
  • Place panko breadcrumbs in a separate dish.
  • Place the cauliflower florets in the wet batter, coating all sides and shaking off any excess. Then place the florets into the panko breadcrumbs, making sure all sides are coated.
  • Place the breaded florets into the preheated air fryer basket in a single layer. You will not be able to fit all the florets at this time; you will need to cook these in batches.
  • Air fry at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 15-17 minutes, until golden, flipping halfway through. Repeat steps 4-6 with the with the remaining florets.
  • Remove florets and serve as is, or toss in your favorite wing sauce.

Notes

  • The cauliflower wings will be crispy when removed from the air fryer. Once tossed in sauce, they will lose their crispiness. If you prefer crispy wings, use the sauce as a dipping sauce rather than tossing them.
  • Don't overcrowd your air fryer basket; you want to cook the florets in a single layer so that it fries rather than steams. So, work in batches depending on the size of your air fryer basket.
