I recently bought new freestanding oven. I had my other stove for many years, so it is a real treat to have this new appliance. It has an induction cooktop. The oven is a traditional oven, but also has a convection oven feature and an air fryer. I’ve been trying out all of the features with some successes and a few fails. But, I’m learning from every fail, which is great.
Recently my sister and I had Buffalo cauliflower at a neighborhood restaurant. It was so delicious that we went back for it a few times. It inspired me to find a recipe for it at home and make it in the air fryer.
I found this Air Fryer Cauliflower recipe on the Love & Lemons blog, written by Jeanine Donofrio. I have made the recipe twice and both times it turned out perfectly. This Air Fryer Cauliflower uses panko as its breading. Basically, you cut your cauliflower, dip it into a beaten egg and then dip it into the panko. (See linked recipe above for the spices you add to the panko.) Then you air fry the cauliflower. (Note: Darker pans work best in my oven air fryer. Check your owner’s manual.)
A tip to know is if you do buy an oven with an air fryer feature, be sure it is one that you can edit the temperature. Some ovens have their air fryer set by the manufacturer to 450°F. Thankfully, my oven air fryer lets me edit the temperature. (Many of the new ovens have some electronic features.) The temperature to air fry the cauliflower in this recipe is 370°F. You leave the cauliflower in the air fryer for 9-12 minutes. My cauliflower was done in 9 minutes!
Air fryer cauliflower is a perfect appetizer or snack. If you add fries or coleslaw etc., it becomes a meal! I baked some French fries in the oven and covered them with aluminum foil when they came out of the oven. This kept them warm while I air fried the cauliflower.
