For a dairy free or vegan option – sprinkle with nutritional food yeast for additional flavour. Alternatively, sprinkle with parmesan, grated cheese, hot sauce or use another family-friendly dipping sauce such as honey mustard.

Turkey balls can easily be integrated as the protein in many different types of meals – everything from soups to salads and anything else that needs a boost of lean protein.

Enjoy!

Air Fryer Cauliflower Bites

February 6, 2021 By Crystal

These cauliflower bites are the perfect addition to complement your GAME DAY snack buffet. I have a similar recipe that’s made in the oven, but I wanted to try these in my new Pampered Deluxe Chef Air Fryer!
