Ingredients

Cooking spray

as needed

Breadcrumbs

1 cup

Hot sauce

1/2 cup

Non-dairy milk

1/2 cup

Black pepper

1/2 teaspoon

Salt

1/2 teaspoon

Garlic powder

1 teaspoon

Paprika

1 teaspoon

Cornstarch

1/4 cup

All-purpose flour

1/2 cup

Cauliflower

1 large head, cut into florets

Ranch dressing (for dipping)

1/2 cup

Instructions

1. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Ensure the dry ingredients are evenly mixed.
3. In a separate bowl, combine the non-dairy milk and hot sauce, whisking until well blended.
4. Dip each cauliflower floret into the flour mixture, ensuring it's thoroughly coated. Next, dip it into the milk mixture, and finally coat it with breadcrumbs, pressing gently to help the breadcrumbs adhere.
5. Arrange the coated cauliflower florets in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Make sure they are not touching to allow for optimal air circulation.
6. Lightly spray the coated florets with cooking spray to enhance their crispiness.
7. Air fry the cauliflower wings for 10 minutes, then carefully flip each floret and continue air frying for an additional 10 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
8. While the cauliflower wings are cooking, prepare the dipping sauce by simply placing ranch dressing in a bowl.
9. Serve the crispy cauliflower wings hot with the ranch dressing on the side for dipping.
