Steps:
- Make the spice mix: In a small bowl, whisk together the paprika, cayenne, garlic powder, mustard powder, black pepper, and onion powder.
- Add the cauliflower florets to a large bowl and sprinkle with the salt and 2 tablespoons of the spice mix, tossing to coat the cauliflower completely. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top.
- Make the batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, flour, and hot sauce until smooth.
- Add a cauliflower floret to the batter and toss to coat completely.
- Shake off any excess batter and dip the cauliflower into the panko bread crumbs tossing to coat completely.
- Spray the air fryer basket with nonstick spray. Add the cauliflower in a single layer, working in batches if necessary. Fry until golden and crispy, about 15 minutes.
- Make the spicy oil: In a small saucepan, combine 1 tablespoon of the spice mix, the sugar, and canola oil. Cook over medium heat, stirring, for about 2 minutes, until the sugar dissolves.
- Drizzle the crispy cauliflower with the spicy oil and sprinkle with the remaining spice mix.
- Serve with white bread and dill pickle chips.
- Enjoy!
