Description

This air fryer cauliflower recipe is a quick and easy side dish with a deliciously smoky, tangy, and savory flavor profile. Perfectly roasted in the air fryer, it’s healthy, simple, and ready in just minutes!


Ingredients

Scale

For the Cauliflower

  • 1 head Cauliflower (cut into florets)
  • 3 tbsp Olive oil
  • 2 tsp Lemon juice
  • 3/4 tsp Smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp Garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp Sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp Black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat the air fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 380 degrees F (193 degrees C) to ensure even cooking.
  2. Prepare the cauliflower: In a large bowl, combine the cauliflower florets with olive oil, lemon juice, smoked paprika, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper. Toss thoroughly to coat the florets evenly.
  3. Air fry the cauliflower: Place the seasoned cauliflower into the air fryer basket in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding; cook in batches if necessary. Air fry for 7-10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking, until the edges are browned and the florets are tender.

Notes

  • For best results, ensure the cauliflower pieces are of uniform size to cook evenly.
  • You can adjust the seasoning to your preference by adding spices like cumin or chili powder for extra flavor.
  • Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket to achieve a crispy texture.
