These air fryer cheesy buffalo cauliflower bites are a quick, flavorful snack or appetizer. They’re crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and coated in a delicious buffalo sauce with melted cheese.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium head cauliflower, cut into bite-sized florets
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce
  • 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons crumbled blue cheese (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, toss the cauliflower florets with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  3. Arrange the cauliflower in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
  4. Air fry for 10-12 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender and slightly browned, shaking the basket halfway through.
  5. While the cauliflower is cooking, warm the buffalo wing sauce in a small saucepan over low heat.
  6. Once the cauliflower is cooked, transfer it to a clean bowl. Pour the warmed buffalo sauce over the cauliflower and toss to coat.
  7. Return the sauced cauliflower to the air fryer basket. Sprinkle the cheddar cheese and blue cheese (if using) over the top.
  8. Air fry for another 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  9. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For extra crispy bites, you can toss the cauliflower with a tablespoon of cornstarch before adding the oil and seasonings.
  • Adjust the amount of buffalo sauce to your spice preference.
  • If you don’t have an air fryer, you can roast the cauliflower in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes, then toss with sauce and cheese and broil for a few minutes until melted.
