Air Fryer Birds Eye Loaded Cauliflower Bites Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 1 bag (12 oz) Birds Eye Loaded Cauliflower Bites (frozen)
  • Cooking spray

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your air fryer according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Aim for a preheat temperature of 400°F (204°C).
  2. Optional (for extra crispiness): While your air fryer preheats, spread the frozen cauliflower bites in a single layer on a paper towel-lined plate. Let them sit for 5 minutes to thaw slightly.
  3. Lightly coat the basket of your air fryer with cooking spray.
  4. Arrange the cauliflower bites in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure not to overcrowd them.
  5. Air fry for 12-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, or until the bites are golden brown and crispy.
  6. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauces, like ranch dressing, marinara sauce, or buffalo sauce.

Tips:

  • For a richer flavor, drizzle the cauliflower bites with a tablespoon of melted butter or olive oil after shaking them halfway through cooking.
  • If your air fryer tends to run hot, adjust the cooking time to avoid burning the bites.
