Step 1

In a small bowl mix together panko, garlic powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, and salt. Reserve.

Step 2

In a microwave-safe bowl melt the butter, add olive oil and hot sauce and stir until combined.

Step 3

Place cauliflower florets in a large mixing bowl. Pour half of the hot sauce mixture over the cauliflower; toss until the cauliflower florets are well coated.

Step 4

Sprinkle the panko mixture over the cauliflower and mix until everything is coated.

Step 5

Transfer the prepared cauliflower to the air fryer. Air fry at 370˚F for 12 to 15 minutes, gently shaking halfway through the cooking process. Cauliflower is done when the florets are a bit browned. You may cook extra 1 to 2 minutes for crispier cauliflower.

Step 6

Take out the air fried cauliflower in a serving dish and drizzle over the remaining buffalo sauce. Also, take out the flavorful and crunchy panko crumbs from under the basket and top them over the cauliflower.

Step 7

Serve with your favorite ranch or bleu cheese dressing along with some celery and carrot sticks.
