Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) if using the oven method. Wash and cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets. In a large mixing bowl, combine cauliflower with buffalo wing sauce, olive oil, garlic powder, sea salt, and flour. Toss to coat.
  2. For air fryer, lightly spray the basket with cooking spray. Place coated cauliflower in a single layer. For the oven, grease a baking sheet, and spread the cauliflower evenly.
  3. Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for approximately 15 minutes, shaking halfway through for even browning.
  4. If using the oven, bake at 450°F (230°C) for 30 minutes. Toss the florets at the 15-minute mark for even cooking.
  5. Serve hot and enjoy with a cooling dip, such as ranch or yogurt.
