Pro Tips For The Best Air Fryer Cauliflower Recipe

  • Seasonings: If you want to add more flavor, add some onion powder, Italian seasoning, seasoning blend, or even minced garlic for added flavor.
  • Less Oil: This recipe uses less oil; however, to get the crispy exterior, you will need to make sure that you coat your cauliflower with a thin coat of oil so that the cauliflower crisps up.
  • Parchment Paper: For a quick cleanup, you can line your air fryer basket with parchment paper.
  • Oil: While you can use canola oil or vegetable oil since neither is high-heat oil, you may notice some smoke from your air fryer.

The key to air frying is not to crowd your air fryer. While you may be looking for an easy way to cook up crispy air fryer cauliflower, crowding your basket will lead to unevenly cooked cauliflower, so for best results, cook only as much cauliflower as your air fryer can cook in a single layer. Leave enough room so that the hot air can freely circulate around the cauliflower, which will help crisp it up. You can always cook in batches.

Properly storing air fryer cauliflower is essential for maintaining its freshness, texture, and flavor. Here are some tips to help you keep your air-fried cauliflower in top condition:

  • Cool the Cauliflower: Before storing the cauliflower, it’s important that you cool it completely. This prevents the growth of bacteria that can cause spoilage.
  • Store in an Airtight Container: Put the cooled cauliflower into an airtight container like a Ziploc freezer bag or a plastic storage container with a tight-fitting lid. This will help keep out moisture and minimize any potential for bacterial growth.
  • The cauliflower will last for 3-5 days.

If you want to bring out the bold flavor of the cauliflower, you can always serve it with just a squeeze of lemon juice or some fresh basil; this makes a great weeknight dinner or just a quick snack!
