air fryer cauliflower

Ingredients:

1 head of cauliflower 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil or cooking spray Seasonings of your choice (such as salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, or Parmesan cheese)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
  2. While the air fryer is preheating, prepare the cauliflower. Wash it thoroughly and cut it into bite-sized florets.
  3. In a large bowl, toss the cauliflower florets with olive oil or spray them with cooking spray. This will help the seasonings adhere and create a crispy texture.
  4. Season the cauliflower with your choice of seasonings. Common options include salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, or Parmesan cheese. You can get creative and use your favorite spices.
  5. Place the seasoned cauliflower florets in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure they are not overcrowded. If necessary, cook in batches.
  6. Air fry the cauliflower at 375°F (190°C) for about 15-20 minutes. Be sure to shake or toss the florets halfway through to ensure even cooking.
  7. Check for doneness by piercing a floret with a fork. It should be tender and have a crispy exterior.
  8. Once the cauliflower is cooked to your desired level of crispiness and tenderness, remove it from the air fryer and serve immediately.
  9. You can serve the air-fried cauliflower as a side dish, snack, or even as a base for other dishes like cauliflower “wings.” It’s delicious with a dipping sauce or as a healthy and crunchy addition to salads.
