Spicy Cauliflower & Carrot Bites

1.Preheat your air fryer to 200°C (390°F) for 5 minutes.

2.Steam the cauliflower florets until just tender, about 5 minutes. Drain well and let cool slightly.

3.In a large mixing bowl, combine the steamed cauliflower, grated carrots, finely chopped onion, and green chillies.

4.Add the eggs, all-purpose flour, salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and chopped coriander leaves to the vegetable mixture. Mix thoroughly until a sticky batter forms. If the mixture feels too wet, add a little more flour, one tablespoon at a time, until it holds together well.

5.Using your hands or a spoon, shape the mixture into small bite-sized patties or balls, about 1.5 inches in diameter.

6.Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray to prevent sticking.

7.Place the bites in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they do not touch. You may need to cook in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.

8.Brush the tops of the bites lightly with olive oil to promote crispiness.

9.Air fry at 200°C (390°F) for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the bites are golden brown and crispy on the outside.

10.Remove from the air fryer and let cool slightly before serving. These bites are delicious on their own or served with a cooling yogurt dip or chutney.
