Air fryer cauliflower variations

I’ve kept this air fryer cauliflower recipe simple to deliver quickly, as  I always share healthy air fryer meals on this blog. However, you can serve this recipe in several ways, and here are some ideas:

• If you fry or bake cauliflower without any breading, it will become somewhat crispy, but a light breading is essential for super-crispy cauliflower. Spice up the cauliflower, put it in an egg mixture, and then put it in breadcrumbs. The breadcrumbs enhance the crisp exterior layer and keep the seasonings on the cauliflower.
• Season with smoked paprika, ground mustard, salt, pepper, turmeric, cumin, oregano, onion, and garlic powder. Turmeric and smoked paprika will add to the rich, golden color of the dish.
• Serve it with spicy ranch sauce: Pick your preferred ranch dressing. Add a tiny dab of Frank’s hot sauce, then combine the two. Quite simple! Additionally, you can adjust the level of spice to your preference.

How to cut cauliflower to cook air fry cauliflower?

We removed the leaves and any excess stem from our cauliflower before putting it in the air fryer. Insert a knife outside the cauliflower stem and cut around it to achieve this. The florets can then be chopped along the stem or pulled off my hand. We want to end up with nugget-sized portions that can be eaten in one or two bites.

How do you get crispy cauliflower?

Spice up the cauliflower, put it in an egg mixture, and then put it in breadcrumbs. The breadcrumbs enhance the crisp exterior layer and aid in keeping the spices on the cauliflower.

Can you use frozen cauliflower for this recipe?

I like the taste and freshness of fresh vegetables. However, you may substitute frozen vegetables if necessary, especially on busy days when you don’t have enough time to make dinner but want a delicious veggie meal.

Using frozen vegetables is fantastic for your busy nights; grab a bag of veggies in the back of the freezer; we all have at least two bags that we forget! There’s no need to thaw them; season them as usual and cook them in your air fryer.
