Air Fry Crumbed Cauliflower Bites with Yogurt Dip

A healthy, light crowd pleaser that works well as part of a mezze platter or with a salad for lunch.

Tip:
Set up an olive or avocado oil spritz bottle (as used for salad dressings) to use to coat the ingredients before air frying. Avoid the traditional non-stick sprays which contain soya lecithin as these may damage the non-stick coatings.
