Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 medium head of cauliflower cut into florets
- 1 teaspoon olive oil or avocado oil
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon pepper
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Cut the cauliflower into florets. Remove the outer leaves and trim the stem. After that, slice the head into quarters, then use a knife or your hands to break it into bite-sized florets. Try to keep them about the same size so they cook evenly in the air fryer.
- Add the cauliflower florets to a large bowl. Then, pour the olive oil into the bowl and mix to evenly coat the cauliflower.
- Add the garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, and grated Parmesan cheese to the bowl. Thoroughly mix to evenly coat the cauliflower in the seasoning mixture.
- Place a parchment paper liner in your air fryer basket for easy cleanup. Then, pour the seasoned cauliflower mixture into the air fryer basket in a single layer.
- Air fry the cauliflower florets at 400°F for 12-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until golden brown and tender.
- Let the air-fried cauliflower cool for a few minutes before serving, and enjoy!

Notes
- Parmesan Swap: For a dairy-free and vegan option, replace the Parmesan with nutritional yeast for a similar cheesy flavor, or simply leave it out.
- Even-Sized Florets: Cut the cauliflower into evenly sized florets so they cook at the same rate in the air fryer.
