Equipment

  • Air Fryer

Ingredients

  • 2 cauliflower heads
  • 2 tbsps olive oil
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp salt

Instructions

  • Snip the cauliflower heads down to bite size pieces using kitchen scissors or a knife.
  • Place them in a large mixing bowl.
  • Drizzle the florets with the oil and cover with the spices. Toss the cauliflower around in the bowl to get a nice and even coating.
  • Place the cauliflower in the air fryer basket evenly.
  • Cook at 400 degrees for 10 minutes. Toss the cauliflower well and cook for another 8-10 minutes.
  • Let them cool and serve.

Notes

  • Pre-cut cauliflower works just as well as fresh cauliflower, saving you some time. Just make sure it is fresh cauliflower.
  • Frozen cauliflower has a little different approach when cooked in the air fryer.
  • Feel free to add more seasoning to the cauliflower or none at all. This is just a great starting point if you are new to air-frying veggies.
  • This recipe should work in just about any air fryer size unless it’s a really small one. 3 quart or larger is perfect for this recipe, but if it’s smaller, just cut the recipe in half or only cook half at a time.
  • It’s very important that you pause and toss the cauliflower halfway through the cooking process so the vegetables cook evenly.
