Ingredients
- 1 medium head cauliflower, cut into florets
- 1½ tablespoons olive oil (or any neutral oil)
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika (optional, for color and flavor)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Optional: 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan, hot sauce, lemon juice, or chopped parsley for garnish
Instructions
1. Prep the Cauliflower
Wash and dry the cauliflower. Cut it into evenly sized florets (not too small, or they may overcook).
2. Season It Up
In a large bowl, toss the cauliflower with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Make sure every floret is well coated.
3. Air Fry
Preheat your air fryer to 390°F (200°C).
Add the cauliflower to the air fryer basket in a single layer — don’t overcrowd. Cook for 12–15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking.
4. Serve
Once golden and crispy, remove from the air fryer. Squeeze a bit of lemon juice on top or sprinkle with fresh parsley or cheese. Serve hot!
Flavor Variations
- Spicy: Add chili powder or toss with hot sauce before cooking
- Buffalo Style: Toss with buffalo sauce after air frying and serve with ranch
- Curry Flavored: Use curry powder instead of paprika
- BBQ Cauliflower: Toss with BBQ seasoning or sauce for a smoky touch
Tips & Tricks
- Cut florets evenly so they cook at the same speed
- Avoid using too much oil – it’ll make the cauliflower soggy
- Air fry in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding
- Use leftovers in wraps, salads, or grain bowls
