Ingredients

  • 1 large head cauliflower rinsed, dried and chopped into florets
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • olive oil spray

Optional toppings

  • A few squeezes of fresh lemon juice
  • Chopped fresh parsley for topping
  • Grated parmesan for topping

Instructions

  • Preheat the air fryer to 390 degrees for 5 minutes.
  • Add the cauliflower florets to a large bowl.
  • In a small dish, combine the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper. Mix well.
  • Spritz the cauliflower lightly with olive oil spray. Sprinkle on the spices and toss to coat the florets.
  • Add the cauliflower to the air fryer basket and spread evenly.
  • Cook at 390 degrees for 14-15 minutes or until the cauliflower is crisp and with the desired tenderness.
  • Serve warm as is or with a squeeze of fresh lemon, freshly chopped parsley, and/or grated parmesan.

Notes

Use similar size florets. Cutting into same size florets ensures the cauliflower will all cook evenly.
