Cooking Instructions
  1. Cut cauliflower into small florets and set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the cornstarch, water, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Then add in the cauliflower and stir to coat all the florets in the mixture.
  3. Add as much cauliflower that can fit to an air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook at 400 F for 5 minutes, shake the basket around, and cook for another 5 minutes.
  4. While the cauliflower is cooking, rinse out the large bowl, then pour the buffalo sauce into it.
  5. Add cauliflower to the bowl and toss with the buffalo sauce. Return the cauliflower to the air fryer and cook for an additional 5-10 minutes or until the cauliflower is crispy.
  6. Serve immediately with carrots, celery, and your favorite dipping sauce.
