Ingredients
- • 1 medium head Cauliflower, cut into bite-sized florets
- • 1/2 cup Buffalo Sauce (check label for zero sugar)
- • 2 tbsp Unsalted Butter, melted
- • 1/4 cup Almond Flour + 2 tbsp Grated Parmesan
- • 1/4 cup Blue Cheese crumbles
- • 2 tbsp Avocado Oil Mayonnaise + 2 tbsp Sour Cream
Expert Instructions
- Coat with Care: In a large mixing bowl, toss cauliflower florets with almond flour, parmesan, and a pinch of salt until evenly dusted.
- Air Fry Magic: Place florets in the air fryer basket at 400°F (200°C) for 12-15 minutes, shaking halfway through, until edges are golden and crispy.
- The Silky Glaze: Whisk melted butter and buffalo sauce together. In the final 2 minutes of cooking, brush the sauce over the bites or toss them in a bowl with the glaze for maximum flavor coverage.
- The Dip: While the cauliflower crisps, mash blue cheese into the mayo and sour cream with a splash of lemon juice until creamy yet chunky.
Quick-Fix Tip: By utilizing a high-heat air fryer instead of a traditional oven, we slashed the cooking time by 20 minutes while maintaining that essential crunch without high-carb breading.
