Ingredients
Scale
Cauliflower
- 1 medium head of cauliflower
Seasoning
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 0.5 tsp turmeric powder
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Prepare Cauliflower: Cut the cauliflower into even sized florets to ensure uniform cooking.
- Mix Seasonings: In a small bowl, whisk together garlic powder, smoked paprika, turmeric powder, grated parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper until thoroughly combined.
- Coat Cauliflower: In a large bowl, add the cauliflower florets and seasoning mix; toss well to coat all pieces evenly. Drizzle olive oil over the florets and toss again until spices and oil are evenly distributed.
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat the air fryer to 380°F for 5 minutes to prepare for cooking.
- Air Fry Cauliflower: Arrange the coated cauliflower in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook at 380°F for 10 minutes or until the florets turn golden brown and crispy.
- Serve: Remove the cauliflower from the air fryer and serve immediately for best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Serve with a Spicy Mayo Dipping Sauce made by combining 1/4 cup sour cream, 1/4 cup mayonnaise, and 2 tablespoons hot sauce for a flavorful dip.
- Store leftover cauliflower in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat leftovers in the air fryer or microwave until warmed through to retain crispness.
- When cooking from frozen, increase air frying time by 4 to 5 minutes to ensure thorough cooking and crispiness.
