Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- In a bowl, mix together the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Dip each cauliflower floret into the buttermilk, then dredge in the flour mixture, ensuring they are well coated.
- After coating in flour, toss the florets in breadcrumbs until fully covered.
- Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray and arrange the cauliflower bites in a single layer.
- Spray the tops of the cauliflower bites with cooking spray to help them crisp up.
- Air fry for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
- While the cauliflower is cooking, prepare the dipping sauce by mixing sour cream, mayonnaise, lemon juice, dill weed, and salt in a bowl.
- Serve the crispy cauliflower bites warm with the creamy dipping sauce.
Notes
- Feel free to add your favorite spices to the flour mixture for extra flavor.
- You can also swap out the breadcrumbs for panko for a crunchier texture.
- These cauliflower bites can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
