Other Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat the air fryer to 400ºF and spray the air fryer basket or shelf with non-stick cooking spray. Remove all of the vegetables from the freezer and let them sit for a couple of minutes.
  • Next, place all the ingredients (except for the corn starch) for the sweet and sour sauce in a small saucepan.
  • Prepare the sauce: Whisk the ingredients for the sauce together and bring to a boil over high heat.
  • Turn the heat to low, let the sauce simmer while you prepare the slurry. In a small jar, whisk the corn starch with 2 tablespoons of water until combined. Pour the slurry into the sauce and whisk everything together until it thickens. Cover and remove the sauce from the heat.
  • Prepare the riced cauliflower: Pour the frozen riced cauliflower into the air fryer basket and be sure you break up any large frozen chunks. Drizzle the soy sauce and a pinch of salt over the riced cauliflower.
  • Toss and spray the riced cauliflower with non-stick cooking spray.
  • Fry the riced cauliflower at 400ºF for 5 minutes, toss, and fry for another 5 minutes.
  • Pour the riced cauliflower into a bowl and cover with tin foil.
  • Prepare the vegetables: Crack the eggs into a large bowl and whisk.
  • Add the frozen broccoli, cauliflower and carrots to the bowl and toss the vegetables until they are covered in egg.
  • In a separate bowl, add the flour, garlic powder, salt, and whisk together. Sprinkle the flour mixture over the vegetables and toss until the vegetables are coated with flour.
  • Pour the vegetables into the air fryer, spray with non-stick cooking spray, and fry for 7 minutes. Toss the vegetables and fry for another 8 minutes.
  • Add the cooked vegetables to a bowl and add the sweet and sour sauce to the bowl. Toss until the vegetables are coated in sauce.
  • Serve the vegetables over the riced cauliflower and sprinkle with sesame seeds and green onions.
