– cauliflower head approx 460 grams, cut into bite-sized florets. – peanut oil – ketchup – sriracha or to taste – brown sugar – salt – cilantro
Ingredients
1
Preheat the air fryer as per the manual instructions. Meanwhile, cut the cauliflower into bite-sized pieces like below. Make sure the florets are not super small.
2
Now drizzle the peanut oil over the cauliflower florets and rub it in with your hands. Make sure you coat all the florets evenly with the oil.
3
Place the cauliflower florets in the air fryer basket. Spread them evenly. I did not work in batches this time, as I had only a few florets extra. I just placed it on the top and sides.
4
Air fry the cauliflower, tossing them. Here are the florets after initial cooking.
5
While you are air frying the cauliflower, you can prepare the sauce quickly. In a mixing bowl, add the ketchup, sriracha, sugar, and salt. Mix well.
6
Add the partially cooked cauliflower florets and toss and stir until all of your cauliflower florets are coated with the sauce.
7
Now add the cauliflower to the air fryer basket of your air fryer, cook, tossing them.

If you need crispy cauliflower bites, you can continue cooking until you get your desired texture. Garnish it with cilantro and serve warm.
