Creating Air Fryer Buffalo Cauliflower is straightforward and fun. Here are the steps to follow:

1. Prepare the Cauliflower: Cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets. Ensure they are relatively uniform in size for even cooking.

2. Make the Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, water, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper until a smooth batter forms.

3. Coat the Cauliflower: Dip each cauliflower floret into the batter, ensuring it is evenly coated. Allow excess batter to drip off.

4. Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes to ensure crispy results.

5. Arrange the Florets: Place the battered cauliflower florets in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Do not overcrowd to allow proper air circulation.

6. Air Fry: Cook the florets for 12-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking and browning.

7. Toss in Buffalo Sauce: Once the cauliflower is crispy and golden, remove it from the air fryer and place it in a large bowl. Pour the buffalo sauce over the cooked cauliflower and toss well to coat.

8. Return to Air Fryer: Return the sauced cauliflower to the air fryer and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to caramelize slightly.

9. Cool Slightly: Let the buffalo cauliflower cool in the bowl for about 5 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
