Equipment

Steps

1
Whisk flour, milk, garlic powder, salt, and pepper into a smooth batter.
2
Dip florets into batter, shake off excess. Place in a single layer in the basket.
3
Air fry at 400°F for 15-18 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.
4
Mix hot sauce, melted butter, and honey. Toss hot florets in the buffalo sauce.
5
Serve with ranch or blue cheese dressing and celery sticks.

💡

Tip: For extra crunch, double-cook: air fry 12 minutes, rest 5 minutes, then cook 6 more minutes before saucing. The rest dries the surface for a crispier second fry.
