Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 pound cauliflower (about 1 small head)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon sweet or spicy paprika (see note)
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon ground cumin
Instructions
- Trim the cauliflower head and cut it into florets. Place the florets into a medium mixing bowl.
- Mix the olive oil and seasonings together in a small bowl.
- Pour the seasoned oil over the cauliflower and shake the bowl to coat the cauliflower.
- Pour the cauliflower into the air fryer basket and spread out so it's in an even layer. Cook at 400 degrees F for 12-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through the cooking time.
- Use tongs to transfer the cauliflower to a serving bowl. Serve warm.
Notes
- You can use all smoked paprika if you prefer.
- Cooking time depends on your air fryer, on how big you cut the florets and on how soft you like your cauliflower. After ten minutes of cooking, keep going in 2-minute increments and check so the cauliflower doesn't burn. After the first time you will know how your air fryer works with cauliflower.
- If you like your cauliflower rather soft, start the cooking process at 360 degrees F for the first 8 minutes. Then turn the heat up to 400F and cook until softened and browned to your liking.
