Preheat the Symphony:
Begin the culinary symphony by preheating your air fryer to 400°F. This ensures the perfect stage for the cauliflower tater tots to achieve a harmonious balance of crispiness and tenderness.

Crisp Cadence:
Lightly spray the tots with cooking spray – the cadence that enhances their crispiness. This ensures that each tot achieves a golden brown perfection that resonates with a satisfying crunch.
Air-Fry Overture:
Set the stage for the air-fry overture, a 10-12 minute performance at 400°F. Halfway through, let the basket shake, allowing the tots to dance and crisp evenly until they reach a golden brown and firm finale.
Dipping Sauce Duet:
While the tots take their final bow in the air fryer, prepare your favorite dipping sauce. A duet of flavors awaits – a perfect complement to the cauliflower tots.
