Step 1

In a mixing bowl - combine all dry ingredients (flour, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper) then whisk in water and milk until batter has no lumps.

Step 2

Add fresh cauliflower florets to batter and mix well to evenly coat with batter. Remove florets one at a time and transfer to a separate dish so that excess batter can run off.

Step 3

Coat air fryer basket with non-stick cooking spray or oil, then add battered florets to air fryer basket in a single layer. Also, try to keep them from touching (if possible) so that all sides can get direct heat.

Step 4

Cook at 350 degrees for 15 minutes.

Step 5

Meanwhile, in a small pot (or in microwave) - bring hot sauce, butter, and molasses to low simmer, mixing well to combine. Then remove from heat.

Step 6

Once cauliflower is done cooking, transfer to a bowl. When ready to serve, cover with sauce, then toss to coat.

Step 7

Serve IMMEDIATELY with your dipping sauce of choice, or none at all. Enjoy!
