Step 1

To prepare cauliflower, cut or break into evenly sized florets. Rinse well and spin dry. They should be as dry as you can get them.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine melted butter and hot sauce, stirring with a whisk until blended together. Add cauliflower and toss to coat. The cauliflower should be almost completely coated with the butter/hot sauce blend.

Step 3

In another large bowl, mix Panko bread crumbs, all-purpose flour, dried parsley, garlic powder, and salt.

Step 4

Lightly spray air fryer cooking rack, if desired. Toss cauliflower in Panko mixture until coated and place in air fryer in a single layer. Try not to let them touch each other too much.

Step 5

Set air fryer to 350ºF and cook for 13 minutes or until golden brown and tender. Color deepens as they cool.

Step 6

Continue to cook the remainder of the cauliflower in batches.

Step 7

To keep warm, put cooked cauliflower on a wire baking rack placed on top of a sheet pan in a warm oven (175-200ºF). This will keep the cooked cauliflower warm and crispy while you finish cooking the rest.

Step 8

Serve with ranch or blue cheese dressing.
