How to make air fryer cauliflower?

First, start by measuring about 7-8 cups of cauliflower florets. Wash and dry them. Then set the florets in a large mixing bowl.

After that, drizzle them with avocado (or olive ) oil.

Next, go ahead and sprinkle the cauliflower with the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika.

Then, toss the florets with the oil and spices to evenly coat the vegetables.

Now, preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F. Once the fryer is hot, transfer the florets to the basket.

Place them in an even layer to ensure even cooking. Set the timer for 11-minutes and close the basket.

Also, flip the cauliflower halfway through the cooking process. Otherwise, the vegetable will overcook on one side and be raw on the other side.

Last, once the timer goes off, open the basket and remove the vegetable. Transfer the florets to a serving dish and enjoy!

That’s it, your air fryer cauliflower recipe is done! Kim and I hope you enjoy the veggies and wish you all the best 🙂
