Ingredients
▢1 large head cauliflower
▢1/4 cup (60ml) melted butter
▢3 large eggs
▢2 cloves garlic - minced
▢½ tsp sea salt
▢½ tsp ground pepper
▢¾ cup (75g) almond flour
▢¾ cup (75g) ground parmesan Cheese
▢1 tbsp smoked paprika
▢2 tsp Italian seasoning
For the Keto Bang Bang Sauce:
▢½ cup (120ml) mayonnaise
▢1 tbsp keto maple syrup - zero-calorie/sugar-free
▢2 tbsp Sriracha - or to taste
Instructions
1. Cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets and transfer to a large ziplock bag.
2. In a mixing bowl, whisk the melted butter, eggs and garlic. Season with sea salt and ground pepper.
3. Pour this mixture over the cauliflower florets in the ziplock bag. Mix thoroughly through the bag to coat evenly.
4. In a shallow dish, combine the almond flour, parmesan cheese, paprika and Italian seasoning. Mix well, then dip each cauliflower to completely coat on all sides.
5. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F/200°C.
6. Arrange half of the cauliflower florets into your air fryer basket without overlapping.
7. Air fry for 12-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway. The cooking time may vary depending on the size of your florets, so if they're smaller, check the tenderness after 12 minutes by inserting a knife in the center. I like cauliflower with a bit of crunch to the bite, so for this particular size, I air-fried it for 15 minutes.
8. Repeat with the second batch of cauliflower.
9. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk all the bang bang sauce ingredients.
10. As soon as all the cauliflower is done cooking, transfer to the bang bang sauce and toss to coat.

FAQs
What to serve with keto bang bang cauliflower?
These are great with our pan-seared garlic butter chicken, baked salmon, or on top of a salad like this keto broccoli bacon salad.
Is this air fryer cauliflower bites recipe made with oil?
Many crispy cauliflower bites recipes are made with oil, but there is none in this recipe! That’s because it’s made in the air fryer. You can remove the butter as well if you’d like. The recipe will still work, but the cauliflower may not get as crispy and golden. It will still be delicious, though.
Can you make it with fresh or frozen cauliflower?
I recommend using fresh cauliflower. I would not make this recipe with frozen cauliflower because it gets mushy when cooked, and won’t work well for this type of recipe.
How to make the air fryer cauliflower bites spicy?
To add a kick to these crispy cauliflower bites, add cayenne pepper to the coating. Or you can add more sriracha to the bang bang sauce.
How to make super crispy cauliflower?
The coating in this recipe gets that perfect crispy crunch when it’s cooked in the air fryer at 400°F/200°C for 12-15 minutes.
Expert Tips
Keep these tips in mind when making this keto bang bang cauliflower in the air fryer:
- Make sure to preheat the air fryer for about 4 minutes before adding the cauliflower to it.
- It’s also important to shake the basket halfway through cooking to ensure they get even crispiness.
- You can cook the cauliflower in the oven. To do so, preheat the oven to 425°F/220°C and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper. Transfer the coated cauliflower to the baking sheets and arrange them without overlapping. Then cook for 10 minutes. Flip and cook another 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
