Instructions

- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, water, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
- Toss the cauliflower florets in the batter, coating each piece evenly.
- Place the battered cauliflower in the air fryer basket in a single layer. You may need to cook in batches to avoid overcrowding.

Notes
For extra heat, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the batter or buffalo sauce. Serve with celery sticks for a classic buffalo experience.
