Air Fryer Cauliflower With Teriyaki Sauce
Enjoy a flavorful and healthy snack with Air Fryer Cauliflower with Teriyaki Sauce! Crispy air-fried cauliflower florets are tossed in a deliciously sweet and savory teriyaki glaze.
Ingredients
- 1 Cauliflower Head
- 1.5 cups Panko Breadcrumbs
- 1 cup Milk of your choosing (I used soy milk)
- ½ cup Flour
- ½ teaspoon Garlic Powder
- ½ teaspoon Onion Powder
- ¼ teaspoon Salt or to taste
- ¼ teaspoon Black Pepper or to taste
- 1 Scallion for garnish
- 1 tablespoon Sesame Seeds for garnish
- ½ cup Water
- ¼ cup Soy Sauce
- ¼ cup Brown Sugar
- 2 tablespoon Honey
- 2 cloves Garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon Ginger minced
- 1 tablespoon Corn Starch optional if you want to make the sauce sticky – not used in recipe
Instructions
- Start by cutting the cauliflower into florets. Preheat Air Fryer.
- In a large bowl, add the milk, flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper. Whisk until well combined.
- Add your cauliflower florets to the bowl with milk and cover all florets. Then put your cauliflower in the panko crumbs and make sure all florets are covered with the panko.
- Place the florets in the Air Fryer in a single layer. Air fry for 20 minutes on 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- While the cauliflower is cooking, make your teriyaki sauce.
- Add the water, soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, minced garlic, minced ginger in a sauce pan and cook on medium high heat until the water has evaporated and the sauce becomes thicker.
- This can take about 10-15 minutes.
- Once the cauliflower florets are cooked, pour the teriyaki sauce over the florets and garnish with sliced scallions and sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
- Once the cauliflower florets are cooked, pour the teriyaki sauce over the florets and garnish with sliced scallions and sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
Notes
While Air Fryers are designed to make the cauliflower crisp without any oil or fat needed, I would recommend drizzling a bit of olive oil over the cauliflower when you add it to the Air Fryer basket to make it even more crispy.
If you don't have olive oil, you could always use some avocado oil or any other cooking oil of your choice.
Just like most other Air Fryer recipes, remember to toss the contents of the basket halfway through the cooking process.
While I would highly recommend using fresh cauliflower for air frying, you can also choose to use frozen cauliflower if you want to.
