This is a volume-friendly air-fryer article in the best sense: familiar food, a real photo, and a slightly different lane from the version already in the archive. Cauliflower florets cooked until crisp at the edges, then tossed in buttery Buffalo sauce for a vegetarian wing-night plate.

The basket does the useful work here — concentrated heat, browned edges, and less oil than the stovetop version. Keep the pieces even, shake once or twice, and let the last two minutes decide the colour.

    Sauce

    Toss hot cauliflower with Buffalo sauce and butter, then return to the basket for 3–4 minutes to set the glaze.
