- Spray air fryer cooking rack with cooking spray.
- Place cauliflower buffalo bites on cooking rack, single layer, without touching too much.
- Cook in air fryer for 11-13 minutes or until golden brown and tender. They will continue to darken a bit as they cool down.
- Repeat the cooking process until the buffalo bites have all been cooked.
- Keep warm in a warm oven as necessary until all have been cooked.

Notes
The bites are best served with a side of blue cheese dressing or ranch dressing and additional hot sauce.
It is normal to have some of the breading left in the bowl after fully coating the cauliflower.
These bites don't do well reheated, so make them right before you're ready to enjoy.
