5 cups Cauliflower chopped, about one large head
6 cloves Garlic peeled and chopped
4 tablespoons Vegetable Oil
1/2 teaspoon Kosher Salt
FOR THE SAUCE
1/3 cup hot sauce
2 tablespoons Butter or coconut oil for vegan
1 teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce
FOR THE AIR FRYER
Chop the cauliflower into evenly-sized florets and put them in a large bowl.
Cut each garlic clove into 3 pieces and smash them down with the side of your knife. Don’t be shy about smashing the garlic. You want to expose as much of the garlicky surface area as possible so that it roasts well. Add this to the cauliflower.
Pour over the oil and add salt. Mix well until the cauliflower is well-coated with the oil and salt.
Turn your air fryer to 400F for 20 minutes and add the cauliflower, flipping once at the halfway mark.
MAKE THE SAUCE
While the cauliflower cooks, make the sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together the hot sauce, butter, and Worcestershire sauce.
Once the cauliflower is cooked, place it into a large serving bowl. Pour the hot sauce over the cauliflower and mix well.
Place the cauliflower back into the air fryer. Set it to 400F for 3-4 minutes to let the sauce set a little.
Serve with blue cheese dressing or ranch dressing.
