Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 head of cauliflower, cut into drumstick-like pieces
- 1 cup soy or almond milk
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon each: garlic salt, smoked paprika, and onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup Buffalo Sauce, like Frank’s Hot
- 2 tablespoons vegan butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
Vegan Ranch Dressing
- 1/2 cup mayo, or vegan mayo
- 1/4 cup soy milk
- 1/4 cup freshly chopped parsley
- 1 teaspoon dried dill
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
Make the Ranch Dressing, if using
- Whisk together the mayo, soy milk, parsley, dill, garlic powder. Then, add a pinch of salt and season to taste, if needed. Set aside.
Make the Wet
- Heat the milk and cornstarch together in a medium saucepan until cornstarch has dissolved. Then, heat the milk over medium heat until slightly thickened, about 4-5 minutes, then set aside to let cool.
Make the Dry
- Whisk together the flour, garlic salt, paprika, onion powder, black pepper, and salt in a large bowl.
Dredge
- Dip the cauliflower into the flour, then into the thickened milk mixture, then back into the flour. Tap off as much of the excess flour as you can, then place in a single layer in the bottom of your Air Fryer. Repeat with the rest of the cauliflower; knowing that you may have to work in two batches depending on the size of your Air Fryer.
Fry
- Place the air fryer tray into the Air Fryer and set to 7 minutes at 400 degrees F. Let cook, then flip/shake ~halfway through cooking. You may need an extra minute or two, depending on your air fryer and how large your pieces are.
Sauce and Serve!
- Next, heat the butter, buffalo hot sauce and vinegar over medium heat. Toss the cooked air fryer cauliflower with the buffalo sauce, tossing to completely cover. I usually take a full 30-45 seconds to make sure every bit is covered. Serve immediately with the ranch dressing.
