• If making the ranch dipping sauce, start by putting your cashews to soak before you begin prepping your cauliflower. Once soaked, prepare the ranch according to its directions and refrigerate until needed.
• Line a baking tray with parchment paper and preheat your oven to 450 degrees F.
• Place your cut up cauliflower in a large bowl. Then in a separate bowl, combine your flour and all the seasonings and mix to combine. Then add the milk and mix well to make your batter. Now pour the batter into your bowl with the cauliflower and mix well to evenly coat each piece.
• Place your coated cauliflower on your prepared baking tray, one at a time, in a single layer and bake for 20 minutes. Flip once at the halfway point.
• Meanwhile, prepare your buffalo wing sauce by adding all its ingredients to a small sauce pan. Whisk to combine and simmer over medium heat 3-5 minutes, allowing the flavours to combine.
• Remove the cauliflower from the oven, and coat the bites in your buffalo sauce. I use a silicone brush to brush each piece of cauliflower with a generous amount of the sauce. Then return to the oven for 10-15 minutes, flipping once halfway through.
• Serve with dairy free homemade ranch, if using.

• Place your coated cauliflower into your crisp basket, inside the Ninja Foodi appliance. Then set it to air fry at 390 degrees F for 20 minutes. Close the lid.

• When the timer is complete, open the lid and using oven mitts, lift the crisp basket from the Ninja Foodi and shake gently. This will ensure your pieces are not stuck together.
• Return the basket and coat your cauliflower in the buffalo sauce. Pour it over and spread with a silicone brush to evenly coat them. Then close the lid and set the timer for an additional 15 minutes, but start checking around the 10 minute mark. Cook time will vary according to floret size.
