    Air Fryer “Honey” BBQ Cauliflower Wings

    How to Make Air Fryer “Honey” BBQ Cauliflower Wings

    These air-fryer “honey” BBQ cauliflower wings will be a hit at your next tailgate party! They have the flavor and crunch of traditional BBQ wings but contain fewer grams of fat and calories. While these cauliflower wings have the taste of honey, they have no added sugar since they’re sweetened with zero-calorie sweetener.

    If you don’t have gluten-free flour, you can use the same amount of whole wheat flour instead.


    10 prep time


    15 cook time


    4servings


    4 ounces cauliflower wings

    Print Recipe >

    Step-By-Step Instructions:

    1. To make the BBQ sauce: Combine 3/4 tsp onion powder, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/8 salt, and all other sauce ingredients into a small saucepan and heat to medium-low. Bring to a boil then reduce heat and simmer 15 minutes to allow flavors to develop. Stir occasionally. Remove from heat and set aside. BBQ sauce will thicken as it cools.

    2. To make the wings: Preheat air fryer to 375 degrees F. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 onion powder, 1/8 tsp salt, and pepper. Pour in milk and stir to form a batter. (If batter is too thin, add a little more flour and stir. Batter should be thick enough to hold to the cauliflower florets.) Add in cauliflower florets and toss to coat each piece evenly.

    3. Spray basket of air fryer with nonstick cooking spray. Using tongs, place each batter-covered floret into the basket. It’s best to work in two batches so you don’t overcrowd the air fryer. Air-fry each batch for 7 minutes, then remove and brush cauliflower wings with BBQ Sauce. Return to air fryer another 1–2 minutes until crispy.

    4. Remove and repeat for the next batch. Toss all crispy BBQ wings in more sauce. Serve alongside the rest of the BBQ sauce and ranch dressing if desired. Enjoy!

    Step-By-Step Instructions:

    1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.

    2. Wash the radishes and trim off the stems. Reserve a few leaves from the radishes and slice into thin strips for garnish. Halve the radishes and toss with the garlic, oil, and salt.

    3. Line a baking sheet with foil and place radishes cut-side down. Place in the oven and roast for 20–25 minutes until tender when pierced with a fork.

    4. Remove from the oven and toss with lemon juice and radish leaves.
