Air fryer buffalo cauliflower bites are a great low-carb dish. Eat as an appetizer or as a side dish. Spicy and delicious.

Cooking cauliflower florets in the air fryer gives the cauliflower a nice texture. They aren’t overly crispy, but not too soft either. The cauliflower is just right for slathering in buffalo sauce.

These air fryer buffalo cauliflower bites come together in about 15 minutes too!

You can buy a head of cauliflower and cut the florets yourself, or buy prepackaged florets. The produce section of the grocery store often has just the florets prepackaged and ready to go.

What are the benefits of cauliflower?

Cauliflower has gained a lot of popularity in recent years, mainly because of how versatile this cruciferous vegetable is. It is an excellent source of Vitamin C, fiber and B vitamins.
