Frozen Breaded Cauliflower In Air Fryer

I can not have dinner at the Premier Inn when travelling without some of their breaded popcorn cauliflower.

It is so delicious and crispy and always comes with a yummy sauce and I am super grateful that the hubby and the kids don’t like it, because then there is more for me lol.

So, when I walked into Iceland one day and saw that they now sold frozen cauliflower bites, I was there, buying some to take home and try at home in the air fryer.

This same time and temp can also be followed with other frozen breaded cauliflower products.

Cauliflower Bites Air Fryer Ingredients

Bites – We used 1 box of Iceland’s southern fried cauliflower popcorn. Though this filled the bottom of our air fryer basket, so if doing more, we recommend cooking frozen fried cauliflower in batches.

Spray – For breaded cauliflower in the air fryer that are nice and crispy we recommend spraying the cauliflower bites with a little extra virgin olive oil spray and this will help make them nice and crispy.
