Equipment

Ingredients
  

Cauliflower

  • 1 small head cauliflower - cut into small florets
  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • black pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Sweet chili sauce

  • ⅓ cup + 1 tablespoon water
  • ⅓ cup rice wine vinegar
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar or sugar replacement of choice I used Swerve
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoon red chili flakes
  • 1 garlic clove - minced
  • ~1 teaspoon minced ginger
  • 2 tablespoon arrowroot starch or cornstarch

Instructions
 

  • Toss cauliflower with oil, salt, pepper and garlic powder.
  • Add cauliflower to an even layer to air fryer. You may have to do two batches.
  • Air fry at 400 degrees for 14-18 minutes or until desired crispness is achieved. I like my cauliflower browned so I air fried mine closer to 18 minutes. Shake halfway through. If you don't have an air fryer you can bake your cauliflower on a lined sheet pan at 425 degrees for 30-35 minutes.
  • To make sweet chili sauce, whisk together all sauce ingredients. Heat a small pot over medium heat on your stovetop. Add sauce to pot and bring to a simmer. Whisk until thickened. It should thicken within 2 minutes.
  • Toss cauliflower with sauce and serve. I topped mine with fresh chopped cilantro and hemp seeds.

Notes

This makes 2-3 servings of cauliflower.
