Step 1

Cut the cauliflower into medium-sized florets or smaller if preferred and set them aside. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the milk, flour, nutritional yeast, onion powder, garlic powder, and smoked paprika, then whisk everything together until combined into a thick batter. Put the Panko breadcrumbs in a separate bowl, then dip the florets in the prepared batter, and roll them in the breadcrumbs.

Step 2

Place half of the coated florets in the air fryer basket, then set the temperature to 400°F, and let them cook in batches for about 20 minutes or until golden brown. Once done cooking everything, transfer them to a large mixing bowl, then add the barbecue sauce, and toss them gently until nicely coated. Serve with more sauce on the side if preferred and enjoy!
