Equipment
- Air fryer
Ingredients
- 4 cups Cauliflower cut into florets
- 1 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk
- 1 cup All-purpose Flour
- 1/4 cup Water
- 1/4 cup Soy Sauce
- 1 Tbsp Sesame Oil
- 1 tsp Rice Wine Vinegar
- 1 tsp Cornstarch
- 1 tsp Grated Garlic
- 1 tsp Grated Ginger
Instructions
- Line your air fryer basket with parchment paper. In a small bowl, whisk together the almond milk and flour. Dip the cauliflower florets into the batter, allowing any excess batter to drip off.
- Place the cauliflower in the air fryer, making sure they do not touch. You don’t want to overcrowd the basket!
- Air fry at 400F for 15-18 minutes or until the cauliflower are golden brown.
- While the cauliflower is frying, prepare the sauce by combining the remaining ingredients (water, soy sauce, sesame oil, rice wine vinegar, cornstarch, garlic, and ginger) in a small frying pan set over medium heat.
- Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook until it has reduced and thickened-- about 5 minutes. Then, remove it from the heat and allow it to cool for 5 minutes before saucing
- Remove the cauliflower from the air fryer, and let cool for 5 minutes. Combine the cauliflower in a large bowl. Toss to combine and serve immediately. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onion, if desired.
Notes
- Pro Tip! This recipe can be made in the air fryer unit with a basket or the air fryer oven. If you are using the air fryer oven, use the middle rack and select the "Air Fry" function.
- Do not allow the cauliflower florets to touch each other in the air fryer.
- Add spice by drizzling with sriracha or adding red pepper flakes to the sauce.
