Best Ever Air Fryer Frozen Vegetables!
Why eat boring old frozen vegetables when you can jazz them up in the air fryer and make Sweet and Sour Veggies?! We love this Air Fryer Sweet and Sour vegetable recipe for so many reasons, but mostly because it’s so easy to throw together and the sauce is delicious. This recipe combines tempura vegetables with the air fryer and then we obviously had to pair that with some unreal sweet and sour sauce!
Easy Instructions
Cauliflower Fried Rice
We thought we’d make the entire dish in the air fryer, including the rice! While this recipe calls for frozen riced cauliflower, we’re confident you could also use fresh cauliflower rice too.
What You Need
Frozen riced cauliflower: for the cauliflower rice, we used a frozen riced cauliflower. Look for it in the frozen vegetable section at your local grocery store.Soy sauce: soy sauce is used to give it a fried rice taste. You could also use tamari if you’d like to keep it gluten free.
How to Make it
Tempura Vegetables
We took the sweet and sour veggies up a notch with a tempura-like coating that’s going to give these veggies so much life. Good news – you just need a bag of frozen veggies!
What You Need
Frozen broccoli, cauliflower, and carrots: we used around a 10-oz. bag of veggies. We’re confident that you could use any of your favorite frozen veggies. For example, all broccoli, broccoli and cauliflower, or even green beans!Eggs: egg is used to help the tempura breading stick.All-purpose flour: flour is used to give the veggies a tempura texture.Garlic powder: garlic adds flavor.

Sweet and Sour Sauce
If we’re being honest, we’re a bit obsessed with this sweet and sour sauce and plan to use it on everything!
What You Need
Honey: we love using natural sweeteners when possible to sweeten sauces and condiments. Honey goes perfect with this sweet and sour sauce.Orange juice: we love a little bit of citrus and the orange juice makes this sauce taste so fresh.Soy sauce: soy sauce adds a saltiness. Feel free to swap for tamari.Red chili sauce: a little bit of heat does the soul good.Corn starch: no one like a runny sweet and sour sauce. Corn starch is used to thicken it a bit.
How to Make it
Toss the Sauce and Veggies!
The final step in this air fryer frozen vegetable recipe is tossing the air-fried veggies in the sweet and sour sauce. The sauce should be nice and thick and coat the veggies perfectly. Air Fryer
