The air fryer has made it so easy to make quick and simple snacks. I can grab something from the freezer and have an appetizer or side dish on the table in just a few minutes.

Air fryer snacks are perfect because older kids can handle cooking them on their own, making them ideal for after school or when they come home starving after sports practice.

Air fryer frozen cauliflower wings are a great option when you want to sneak in extra veggies.

They have a flavor and texture similar to traditional buffalo wings but are packed with cauliflower instead of chicken. They have a crispy texture and are perfect for dipping, or they often come with their own sauce you can toss them in.

If your kids are coming off the school bus with a major case of the hangries, you are going to love these air fryer cauliflower wings.

This simple appetizer is also perfect for game day or as a meatless appetizer for a party, gathering or an after school snack.
