Instructions
 

  • Be sure to have all of your ingredients handy, as this dish will come together quickly. Start by spraying or brushing your air fryer basket with canola oil. Now, preheat your air fryer basket at 390°F for 10 minutes.
  • While the air fryer is preheating, let's make the batter. In a large bowl, combine the flour, broth powder, garlic powder and red pepper flakes. Whisk in the non-dairy milk until you have a smooth yet thick batter.
  • Just before the air fryer is done preheating, toss the cauliflower florets in the batter and transfer to the air fryer basket. Don't worry if batter drips through the basket. This is totally fine. This batter will clean up easily later on with a quick soak.
  • Allow the cauliflower to cook for 18 minutes at 390°F, turning once halfway using tongs or a fork. These may stick, which is also not a big deal at the halfway point. Depending on your air fryer, you may need few more minutes to get them nice and crisp.
  • Once your cauliflower is crisp, place your battered florets in a large bowl. Toss with General Tso's sauce.
  • Dinner's ready! Enjoy your General Tso's Cauliflower on a bed of brown rice and a side of broccoli.

Notes

Please note that this recipe will drip from the basket of your air fryer. This is easy enough to clean in a typical air fryer. However, you will NOT want to make this in a multi-cooker with heating elements (such as a Breville Smart Oven Air).
