EVER WONDERED WHY ARE THEY CALLED BUFFALO CAULIFLOWER WINGS?
Why would you really call something Buffalo Wings, when the recipe doesn’t even have chicken? I guess the idea was pretty simple. Instead of Chicken Wings coated in Franks Buffalo Sauce, we are dunking cauliflower in buffalo sauce.
My meat lover friends have also confirmed that these spicy buffalo bites taste just the same as chicken wings.I can’t ask for any more 🙂
For BBQ Cauliflower, use the same ingredients as the buffalo cauliflower recipe, except use BBQ SAUCE for glazing.
HOW TO MAKE AIR FRYER CAULIFLOWER WINGS
A Two-Step process is involved in making these Air fryer Buffalo Cauliflower Bites Wings Recipe.
Preheat the Airfryer at 400 degrees / 200 C.
First, the Cauliflower is dipped in a flour-water slurry and air fried for 10 minutes. Remember to turn the cauliflower florets at halfway through.
Coat the florets with a Hot Sauce Glaze. Arrange the coated cauliflower florets in the air fryer basket in a single layer and fry for another 10 minutes.
At 5 minutes intervals, give it a good shake. Remove the fried cauliflower wings and set it aside. Repeat the process with the second batch which takes approximately 20 minutes.
Tip to remember – Arrange the Cauliflower Wings in a single layer at all stages. Do not let the cauliflower florets overlap at any stage.
How to make this Cauliflower Hot Wings Gluten-Free, Keto Friendly, and Low Carb?
It is really simple with a just a few substitutions.
Use Almond Flour or Oats Flour instead of Plain Flour. I have made these Buffalo cauliflower bites using alternate flours as well and the platter was empty in a jiffy.
Avocado Oil and Olive Oil instead of vegetable oil/ sunflower oil
Stevia Sweetener instead of Maple Syrup
IS COOKING WITH AN AIR FRYER HEALTHY FOR YOU?
Cooking with an Air fryer offers no compromise on taste. Most dishes that require deep frying can be prepared in an air-fryer. This gadget works by circulating hot air around the food to produce a crunchy crispy texture with minimal oil or no oil. Air fried food is a healthy alternative to deep fried food, all thanks to the lower amount of calories and fat.
If you are watching your waistline and working towards weight loss, an air fryer can be one of your best friends.
