Don’t Overcook: Keep an eye on the cooking time for your wings. If cauliflower is overcooked, it becomes mushy and can fall apart.Overcrowding Air Fryer: Your air fryer needs plenty of air flow to be able to cook these wings properly. Only cook a single layer at a time and be sure to leave space between each piece.Add More Heat: To add more spice to your honey buffalo sauce, add a pinch of cayenne pepper at a time until you reach your desired flavor.Serve With: Ranch or bleu cheese dressing is a must for dipping! I also like to serve these with celery or other fresh veggies.

In the Refrigerator: Keep leftover cauliflower wings in an airtight container for 2-3 days.Reheating: To keep your wings as crispy as possible, I recommend reheating them in either the oven or air fryer. Pop them in the oven for 5 minutes at 350 degrees F, or in the air fryer for a minute or 2 at 400 degrees.
