Ingredients
Cauliflower
- 1 medium head of cauliflower
Seasoning
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
- ½ tsp turmeric powder
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp salt
- 2 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Prepare the cauliflower: Cut the cauliflower into even sized florets to ensure they cook evenly.
- Mix the seasoning: In a small bowl, combine smoked paprika, turmeric powder, garlic powder, parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Whisk these together thoroughly for an even spice blend.
- Coat the cauliflower: Place the cauliflower florets in a large bowl, add the seasoning mixture, and toss well to coat all pieces evenly. Drizzle olive oil over the florets and toss again to ensure every piece is well coated with both oil and spices.
- Preheat the air fryer: Set your air fryer to 380°F (193°C) and allow it to preheat for 5 minutes, preparing it for perfectly crispy cauliflower.
- Air fry the cauliflower: Arrange the coated cauliflower florets in a single layer inside the air fryer basket to promote even cooking. Cook for 10 minutes or until the cauliflower is golden brown and crispy on the edges.
- Serve: Remove the cauliflower from the air fryer and serve immediately to enjoy the maximum crispiness and flavor.
Notes
- Make sure to cut florets evenly to ensure uniform cooking.
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches if necessary for best results.
- For a dairy-free version, omit the parmesan cheese or substitute with nutritional yeast.
- Adjust seasoning quantities to taste, especially salt and pepper.
- Serve as a side dish, snack, or appetizer with your favorite dipping sauce.
