Instructions

Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
In a mixing bowl, toss the cauliflower florets with olive oil, garlic powder, cayenne pepper (if desired), salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
Arrange the seasoned cauliflower in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through for even cooking.
Once golden brown, transfer the cauliflower back to the bowl and toss with buffalo sauce until well coated.
Serve immediately with celery sticks and your choice of ranch or blue cheese dressing.
