Air fryer frozen cauliflower wings are a great option when you want to sneak in extra veggies.
They have a flavor and texture similar to traditional buffalo wings but are packed with cauliflower instead of chicken. They have a crispy texture and are perfect for dipping, or they often come with their own sauce you can toss them in.
If your kids are coming off the school bus with a major case of the hangries, you are going to love these air fryer cauliflower wings.
This simple appetizer is also perfect for game day or as a meatless appetizer for a party, gathering or an after school snack.
