Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup rice flour
- ½ cup all purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 ¼ cups cold club soda
- 1 head cauliflower, cut into florets
- ⅓ cup BBQ sauce
- 3 tablespoons non-dairy butter
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes, optional / to taste
Instructions
- Spray air fryer basket with nonstick. Preheat your air fryer basket at 400ºF for 5 minutes.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the rice flour, all purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and kosher salt. Add the club soda and whisk until no large lumps remain.
- Carefully dip a cauliflower floret into the batter and place it in the air fryer. Repeat with as many florets as will fit, but make sure not to overcrowd the air fryer.
- Cook at 400ºF for 12 minutes. Flip the cauliflower and cook for an additional 8 minutes. Between batches, keep the cauliflower on a cooling rack set over a baking sheet– this will help keep it crispy until you’re ready to sauce it.
- Meanwhile, add the BBQ sauce, non-dairy butter, and red pepper flakes to a large microwave safe bowl. Cook for 1 minute, or until the butter is melted and then whisk to combine.
- Toss the cooked cauliflower in the sauce and then return it to the air fryer. Cook at 400F for an additional 5 minutes.
- Serve immediately garnished with chopped green onion or parsley.
These cauliflower wings are best enjoyed immediately after they are cooked as they will become soggy as they sit.
