  • ½ teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • ½ teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes
  • ⅓ teaspoon Salt

Method

  • Preheat the air fryer to 370 F. Line the basket of the air fryer with parchment paper.
  • Cut the cauliflower into small /medium florets. Big florets take too much time to get crispy.
  • Mix everything written under tempura batter to make a lump free pancake type tempura batter.
  • Dip all the cauliflower florets into the batter. Make sure each floret is covered with the batter perfectly.
  • Line them in one layer in the air fryer basket.
  • Air fry them till they get crispy and golden.
  • Turn them over in between.
  • Remove tempura cauliflower on a plate.
  • Take a pan or wok. Heat sesame oil in it.
  • Add minced garlic to it. Saute once and mix everything written under the sticky sauce in the pan.
  • Cook till it becomes glossy and thick but not super thick.
  • If it becomes too thick, add one tablespoon of hot water.
  • Add tempura cauliflower to the sauce and coat them nicely.
  • Garnish with scallion and green chilies, and enjoy.
