Ingredients:
– 1 medium head of cauliflower, cut into florets
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Optional toppings for variations see below
Instructions:
1. Start by preheating your air fryer to 400F 200C for about 5 minutes. This ensures even cooking and crispiness.
2. In a large bowl, toss the cauliflower florets with the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Make sure all the florets are evenly coated with the seasoning.
3. Place the seasoned cauliflower in the air fryer basket in a single layer. You may need to work in batches if your air fryer is smaller.
4. Cook the cauliflower for about 12-15 minutes. Give the basket a shake halfway through to promote even browning. The cauliflower should be tender and golden brown when done.
5. While its cooking, prepare any of the optional toppings or dressings to give your cauliflower some extra flair. Here are some quick suggestions:
– Lemon zest and juice with fresh parsley
– Grated Parmesan cheese and black pepper
– Sriracha and honey sauce for a spicy-sweet twist.
6. Once cooked, carefully remove the cauliflower from the air fryer and finish with your choice of toppings. Serve immediately and enjoy your delightful creation!
