Step-by-Step Instructions for Air Fryer Buffalo Cauliflower
  1. Begin by cutting a head of cauliflower into bite-sized florets. Rinse the florets under cool water and pat them dry with a kitchen towel.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine Frank’s RedHot Sauce, melted butter, kosher salt, garlic powder, and cornstarch. Stir until well integrated.
  3. Add the cauliflower florets to the bowl filled with buffalo sauce and toss until every piece is evenly coated.
  4. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes. Arrange the coated cauliflower florets in a single layer. Air fry for 10-12 minutes, shaking halfway through.
  5. While the cauliflower is cooking, mix together blue cheese, sour cream, buttermilk, mayonnaise, and pepper until smooth.
  6. Once the cauliflower is cooked, serve it with the creamy blue cheese dip on the side. Enjoy!

Notes
