SIMPLE INGREDIENTS YOU NEED FOR THE AIR FRYER CAULIFLOWER WINGS

You will need the following ingredients listed below to make the air fryer cauliflower bites (the exact measurements, nutritional information and full recipe are in the printable recipe card at the bottom of this post):

• Box of frozen cauliflower wings – choose your favorite flavor
• Olive oil spray or avocado oil cooking spray
• Your favorite dipping sauce – hot sauce, blue cheese dressing, bbq sauce, vegan ranch, etc.

HOW TO MAKE

1. Preheat your air fryer to 375 degrees F for a few minutes while you prepare the cauliflower wings.
2. Remove the frozen cauliflower florets from the packaging and place them in a single layer in the air fryer basket. If desired, lightly spray the wings with cooking spray or drizzle with oil for extra crispiness.
3. Cook the cauliflower wings in the air fryer for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through the cooking time to ensure even crispiness. Adjust the cooking time as needed based on your air fryer model and the size of the cauliflower wings.
4. Once the cauliflower wings are golden brown and crispy, carefully remove them from the air fryer basket using tongs and transfer them to a serving platter.
5. Serve the hot cauliflower wings with your favorite sauce on the side, and enjoy immediately!

STORING THE LEFTOVER AIR FRYER FROZEN CAULIFLOWER WINGS

When it comes to storing leftover air fryer frozen cauliflower wings, follow these simple steps to maintain their flavor and texture:

1. Cool Down Properly: Allow the leftover cauliflower wings to cool down to room temperature before storing them. This helps prevent condensation buildup, which can make the wings soggy.
2. Transfer to an Airtight Container: Place the cooled cauliflower wings in an airtight container. Make sure the container is the right size to prevent overcrowding, which can cause the wings to become mushy.
3. Label and Date: Consider labeling the container with the date of storage to keep track of freshness. Frozen cauliflower wings can typically be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
4. Reheating: To reheat the leftover cauliflower wings, simply pop them back in the air fryer for a few minutes until heated through and crispy again. Alternatively, you can use a conventional oven or toaster oven.
5. Serve and Enjoy: Once reheated, serve the leftover cauliflower wings with your favorite dipping sauces and enjoy them all over again!
