  • 2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoon onion powder

  • Black pepper to taste
  • ¼ cup hot sauce such as Frank's Red Hot
  • 3 tablespoon butter melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup almond flour blanched
  • Oil for cooking

Instructions
 

  • Preheat air fryer to 350 F according to manufacturer instructions (usually it’s 4-5 minutes). Cosori 5.8 quart
  • Prep. Prepare a large bowl or baking sheet where you are going to arrange the florets. Prepare one bowl with lightly beaten eggs and a tablespoon of water. Second one with almond flour, onion powder, garlic powder salt, pepper. Place cauliflower florets in a separate large bowl. Dip each floret into egg, then almond flour mixture, then egg again and flour.
