A savory and subtly spiced cauliflower dish made in the air fryer, this recipe results in tender, perfectly roasted cauliflower with crispy edges. It’s a quick and delicious side dish or snack!

  • Total Time: 22 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 head of cauliflower, cut into florets
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the air fryer: Preheat the air fryer to 390°F (200°C) for 3–5 minutes.
  2. Season the cauliflower: In a large bowl, toss the cauliflower florets with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Ensure the florets are evenly coated.
  3. Air fry the cauliflower: Place the seasoned cauliflower in the air fryer basket in a single layer (cook in batches if necessary). Air fry for 12–15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the cauliflower is golden and slightly crispy on the edges.
  4. Serve: Enjoy as a side dish, snack, or with a dipping sauce like tahini, ranch, or spicy mayo.

Notes

  • If you like your cauliflower extra crispy, air fry for a couple of additional minutes, but keep an eye on it to avoid burning.
  • Feel free to experiment with other spices like curry powder, turmeric, or chili flakes for added flavor.
  • This dish is perfect for meal prep, and you can store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
