✅ Tips & Variations
- Add more spice: If you love a little heat, bump up the cayenne pepper or drizzle some hot sauce over the cauliflower before serving for an extra kick.
- Try different seasonings: Mix up the flavor profile by experimenting with different spices like curry powder, turmeric, or Italian seasoning for a unique twist.
- Make it crispy: If you want extra crispiness, give the florets a light coating of breadcrumbs before air frying. For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free panko or almond flour.
- Add a dipping sauce: Serve these cauliflower bites with a side of your favorite dipping sauce for added flavor. A creamy yogurt dip, tahini sauce, or a smoky chipotle mayo work wonderfully.
- Use cauliflower stems: Don’t throw away the cauliflower stems! Slice them thinly and toss them in the seasoning for extra bites of crispy goodness.
