1

In a large bowl, combine hot sauce, butter, and honey; whisk until fully blended. Add the cauliflower florets and stir until evenly coated.
2

In a separate bowl, mix flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, seasoning salt, and paprika until well combined. Gradually sprinkle the flour mixture over the cauliflower florets, tossing until all florets are coated.
3

Preheat the air fryer to 390 degrees F (195 degrees C). Spray the fryer basket with olive oil spray or line it with a parchment liner.
4

Place the cauliflower florets in the air fryer basket in a single layer, avoiding overcrowding so they crisp up instead of turning soggy.
5

Air fry for 10 to 15 minutes, shaking the basket several times, until the florets are lightly browned. They should be crispy, not overcooked or mushy. You may need to cook in batches depending on your air fryer’s size. Time may vary based on the size and brand of your air fryer.
6

If desired, lightly drizzle the cauliflower with buffalo wing sauce as soon as they come out of the air fryer. Serve with your choice of a creamy dipping sauce.
