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

  1. Coat with Care: In a large mixing bowl, toss cauliflower florets with almond flour, parmesan, and a pinch of salt until evenly dusted.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
