Description

These Air Fryer Cauliflower Wings are a delicious and healthier alternative to traditional chicken wings. Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, they’re coated in a flavorful batter seasoned with paprika, garlic powder, and other spices, then cooked to golden perfection in the air fryer. Perfect as a snack or appetizer, served with your favorite dipping sauce and fresh veggie sticks.

Ingredients

Cauliflower Wings

  • 2 lbs Cauliflower Florets, trimmed into 1-inch pieces

Batter

  • 1 1/2 cups All Purpose Flour
  • 1 3/4 cups Milk
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Baking Powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Paprika
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Garlic Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare Cauliflower: Trim down your cauliflower into smaller florets about 1 inch in size, ensuring they are uniform for even cooking.
  2. Make the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, milk, baking powder, paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt until the batter is smooth and lump-free.
  3. Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F to ensure optimal crispiness during cooking.
  4. Coat Cauliflower: Working in batches, submerge the cauliflower florets into the batter, stirring thoroughly to coat each piece completely.
  5. Prepare Air Fryer Basket: Spray the air fryer basket generously with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  6. Transfer Cauliflower: Using tongs, carefully transfer coated cauliflower florets into the air fryer basket. Allow excess batter to drip off to avoid clumping.
  7. Arrange in Basket: Place the florets in a single layer with a small space between each to ensure even air circulation.
  8. Air Fry: Cook for 8-10 minutes until the cauliflower is golden brown and crispy, shaking the basket halfway if desired for even cooking.
  9. Cool: Transfer the cooked cauliflower wings to a cooling rack to maintain crispiness.
  10. Repeat: Repeat steps 5 through 9 until all the cauliflower is cooked.
  11. Serve: Serve the crispy air fryer cauliflower wings with your favorite dipping sauce along with celery and carrot sticks for a complete snack.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, you can spray the cauliflower lightly with oil before air frying.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to ensure proper air circulation and even cooking.
  • Use gluten-free flour to make this recipe gluten-free.
  • If you prefer a vegan version, substitute milk with a plant-based milk alternative.
  • Try different seasonings or add hot sauce to the batter for a spicy kick.
