Air Fried Spicy Cauliflower Stir-Fry

Air Fried Spicy Cauliflower Stir-Fry is fast and simple.  It is so gratifying to have a new side dish for your family to enjoy.  Delicious flavors get you lots of compliments.

Finally!  I got an air fryer and I’m diving into creating recipes that are delicious, fast and lower in fats and oils.  Now don’t fret if you don’t have an Air Fryer yet.  You can still make Air Fried Spicy Cauliflower Stir-Fry in a skillet but you would have to add a bit more oil.

I’ll have to chalk this appliance score up to my husband. Again!  All I said was that ‘I’d really like to get an Air-Fryer.  It’s the new big thing!”  So he asked about it and I said I really wasn’t sure but it’s like frying food but with very little oil.

So he started searching amazon.  Not only did I get an air fryer but he bought one that has a stirrer paddle in it.  Now I don’t even have to shake the bowl half way through.  I mean that’s not a hard thing to do but that’s what I got.  I guess he really wanted me to make some air fried dishes.

Sometimes, when a new recipe is created the first round isn’t exactly what you are looking for.  In fact, sometimes it takes two or three tries to get it just right.  Well,  this Air Fried Spicy Cauliflower Stir-Fry came out a winner and surpassed all my expectations right out of the gate.  You’ll have huge success too.

Yes, I’m in love!   There is just some chopping, measuring and a little bit of shaking.  If even that.  Follow the directions below and you’ll love it too.  I’ll add some notes at the very end if you would like to make Spicy Cauliflower Stir-Fry in a skillet or wok.

In the comments Katie asked which air-fryer I got.  I thought I’d post it up here so others could find it easier – just in case.  It is the T-fal ActiFry.  It’s pricey but really a nice one.
