Ingredients 

  • 16 ounces cauliflower, frozen
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Optional: additional seasonings of your choice (e.g., cumin, chili powder, or Italian herbs)

Instructions

  • Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees F (200°C) for 3-4 minutes. This will ensure the cauliflower cooks evenly and achieves a crispy texture.
  • Place the frozen cauliflower florets in a mixing bowl. Drizzle them with olive oil and sprinkle the garlic powder, paprika, salt, and any additional seasonings you prefer. Toss well to coat the florets evenly.
  • Arrange the seasoned cauliflower florets in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding to allow proper air circulation. Cook the cauliflower in batches if needed. Air fry the cauliflower at 400°F (200°C) with a cooking time of 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through the cooking process. The cauliflower should turn golden brown and become crispy on the outside.
  • Once the cauliflower is cooked to perfection, remove it from the air fryer and serve immediately. It can be enjoyed as a side dish, dipped in your favorite sauce, or used as a versatile ingredient in various recipes.
