Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 8 minutes
Total Time 13 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 bag Frozen Cauliflower - thawed 12oz-16oz or 1 head of Fresh Cauliflower broken down into florets. (I chose frozen to make life easier)
  • 3 tablespoons Cholula Hot Sauce
  • sea salt and pepper to season I used 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 large ziploc freezer bag to mix ingredients together

Instructions

  • Place your cauliflower into your air fryer. I have NuWave that comes with a basket. I placed mine in it. 
  • Place in preheated 400 degrees for 5 minutes. Remove and Allow to cool for 1 minute, after 5 minutes have passed. 
  • Place your cauliflower in a ziplock freezer bag with salt, pepper, and hot sauce. Mix around in the bag until cauliflower is evenly coated. 
  • Empty contents of your bag into the air fryer basket, place on 400 degrees and cook for 3 minutes. 
  • For Vortex Plus Air Fryer
  • Press Air Fry. Select temp to 400 degrees. Select time for 10 minutes.
  • Place cauliflower onto tray, and place in Vortex Plus once "Add Food" is displayed on machine.
  • Cook for 5 minutes. Remove from Vortex and allow to cool for a minute. Place your cauliflower in a ziplock freezer bag with salt, pepper, and hot sauce. Mix around in the bag until cauliflower is evenly coated. This should take you about 2 minutes or less.
  • Place cauliflower back onto tray and place back into Vortex Plus. Allow to finish cooking for remaining time.

Notes

  • NOTE: Please make sure your cauliflower is thawed. Any excess frozen ice on it can create extra moisture that you don't want. I ran my under water in a strainer to get rid of the ice, and then I let it drain to remove excess water.
