Description
If you love crispy, flavorful cauliflower bites, this air fryer cauliflower recipe is about to become your new favorite! It’s crunchy on the outside, tender on the inside, and pairs perfectly with a tangy Greek yogurt-based Italian dressing.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 head of cauliflower, cut into florets (or use pre-cut for convenience)
- 1 egg
- 1 tbsp milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1 cup gluten-free Italian bread crumbs (or any bread crumbs of choice)
- Optional: Extra seasonings like smoked paprika, garlic powder, or parmesan
Instructions
- Prep the Cauliflower: Cut into bite-sized florets. (Pre-cut florets save time!)
- Make the Egg Wash: Whisk together 1 egg and 1 tbsp milk in a bowl.
- Prepare the Coating: Add the bread crumbs to a separate bowl.
- Bread the Cauliflower: Dip each floret into the egg wash, then coat with bread crumbs. Place in the air fryer basket. Repeat until all are coated.
- Air Fry to Crispy Perfection: Arrange the florets in a single layer and air fry at 400°F for 15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
(For best results, don’t overcrowd the basket—this helps them crisp up evenly!)
