This is a slightly more spicy (zingy?) take on the paleo-style cauliflower fried rice with pork. You could use any protein. Adjust the poblano chile to mild it down or heat it up as desired.

Devils on Horseback
Devils on horseback are a family favorite appetizer my uncle makes. They are a wonderful balance between salty and sweet, with a combination of crispy, chewy, and crunchy textures. My family destroys a tray of these in fifteen minutes. Double or triple the recipe for a large crowd. Serve on top of watercress greens.
Goan Pork Vindaloo
Traditional Goan pork vindaloo is flavored with chiles, garlic, and vinegar. It's spicy and tangy at the same time, and it will leave your taste buds tingling for more! Serve with rice or crusty rolls.
Air Fryer Roasted Sweet Potatoes
I love roasted vegetables, and especially sweet potatoes. Imagine my surprise to find out how fast and delicious they are when prepared in an air fryer. Every air fryer capacity and performance is different, so you may need to adjust the time or temperature. These sweet potatoes are easily adapted to any style of seasoning you like--plain and simple, or sweet and spicy. Add as much or as little of the suggested seasonings, or try out your own seasoning combo!
