Another recipe that proves why we love the air fryer so much. This cauliflower is the perfect answer when you have buffalo wings on the brain but you need to eat some vegetables. All the flavors that you love about buffalo sauce coat these florets, which are then air-fried to perfection. It all comes together when you dip one into the most perfect creamy blue cheese dressing.

Serve with celery and cucumber slices to really get into the spirit.
