Air Fryer Cauliflower Wings

Step 1

Cut or tear the cauliflower head into florets. Place them in a large bowl. (make decent size florets not baby ones).

Step 2

Use an olive oil spray and give the cauliflower a quick spray all over. Alternatively use about one tablespoon of olive oil. (for WFPB & Plantricious diets omit oil and use a drizzle of tahini or water instead).

Step 3

Sprinkle with the paprika, onion powder, salt and pepper and chili powder if using. Toss to coat well all over.

Step 4

Preheat your air fryer to 450”F. (NOTE: I'm using the Breville Smart Oven Air-Fryer, if you are using a different model or brand you need to keep a close eye on it, check halfway, it might cook quicker or might need extra time).

Step 5

Spread the seasoned cauliflower florets in the air fryer basket/ tray without touching each other. Air fry for 25-30 minutes shaking the tray/ basket half way or carefully flip them using a pair of kitchen tongs. (Note: I used my Breville air fryer / toaster oven so the tray fit all my pieces perfectly. If using a different model with a small basket make sure to work in batches so your cauliflower wings crisp up nicely and not steam.)

Step 6

Serve with this vegan aioli, cashew queso or chimichurri sauce.

Step 7

To make this recipe WFPB + Plantricious compliant make sure to omit all oil and replace with a splash of water or a drizzle of tahini instead.
