- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley

Honey BBQ Sauce:
- 3/4 cup of your favorite bbq sauce (I used Stubbs original BBQ)
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon sriracha sauce
Instructions
- Make Honey BBQ sauce: To a small saucepan on medium-low heat, add bbq sauce, honey, dijon mustard and sriracha. Cook until simmering. Once simmering, remove pan from heat and set aside.
- To a small bowl, add almond milk and apple cider vinegar. Stir and let sit for 5 minutes.
- To a medium bowl, add gluten-free baking flour, garlic powder, smoked paprika, dried parsley and black pepper. Add almond milk mixture to the dry ingredients, whisk until smooth (the mixture will be thick).
- Add cauliflower florets to a large bowl, pour batter over the cauliflower and toss thoroughly with a spoon to make sure each floret is coated evenly.
- Set air fryer to 400°F. Add half of the cauliflower batch to the basket. DO NOT overcrowd, you don’t want any of the cauliflower to overlap.
- Cook for 7 minutes. Take basket out, turn or shake the basket to flip the cauliflower. Cook for an additional 5 to 6 minutes until lightly browned.
- Remove cauliflower and add to a bowl (cover with tin foil to keep warm). Repeat cooking process with second batch.
- Pour BBQ sauce over cauliflower and toss to completely coat cauliflower wings with sauce.
- Serve immediately.
- Optional: serve with ranch dressing, carrot sticks, celery sticks and garnish with green onions.
