Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 head of cauliflower, cut into florets
- 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup of water
- 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
- 1/2 cup of BBQ sauce
- 2 tablespoons of sriracha sauce
- 1 tablespoon of honey
- 1 tablespoon of soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon of rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup of flour, 1/2 cup of water, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper to create a batter.
- Dip each cauliflower floret into the batter, coating it evenly, and place them in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
- Air fry the cauliflower for 10 minutes, then flip the florets and air fry for an additional 5 minutes, or until they are golden and crispy.
- While the cauliflower is cooking, prepare the spicy sriracha glaze by combining 1/2 cup of BBQ sauce, 2 tablespoons of sriracha sauce, 1 tablespoon of honey, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of rice vinegar, and 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the glaze thickens slightly.
- Once the cauliflower is crispy, transfer it to a large bowl and pour the spicy sriracha glaze over the florets. Gently toss to coat the cauliflower evenly with the glaze.
- Serve the air fryer BBQ cauliflower with spicy sriracha glaze immediately as an appetizer or side dish. Enjoy!
