Description

Tender, crispy cauliflower roasted with sweet cherry tomatoes for a quick, healthy, and flavorful side dish. Ideal for weeknight dinners or meal prep.

Ingredients 

  • 1 medium head cauliflower, about 5-6 cups of cauliflower florets
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon paprika powder
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup grape tomatoes, sliced

Instructions

  • Preheat the air fryer temperature to 400 degrees F, for 3-5 minutes.
  • Trim the 1 medium head cauliflower by cutting out the thick stem and removing the outer leaves. Cut into bite-size florets.
  • In a large bowl combine cauliflower, 1/4 cup olive oil1 tablespoon Italian seasoning, 1 1/2 teaspoon paprika powder, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper (or you can use a Ziplock bag for this). Make sure the cauliflower is coated nicely.
  • After preheating the air fryer, place the seasoned vegetables in the basket and air fry for 7 minutes, shaking the basket once or twice halfway through for even cooking. The cauliflower should be lightly charred and crisp—air fry 1–2 more minutes if you prefer extra browning.
  • Transfer the cooked cauliflower to a large bowl, toss with the halved 1/2 cup grape tomatoes, and serve with your favorite dipping sauce.
