Prep the Cauliflower

Rinse and dry the head of cauliflower. Then cut the green stem off. Next, cut the cauliflower into just the florets. Make the pieces bite-sized.

Place the florets into a bowl.

Season

Season the cauliflower with a bit of olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. I usually use a bowl with a lid. After seasoning I put the lid on and give it a good toss to evenly coat the cauliflower.

Air Fry That Cauliflower

Time to air fryer that cauliflower. Add the cauliflower in a single layer on the bottom of the basket. Cook in the air fryer at 400F/205C for 5 minutes. Remove the basket and turn the florets over to the other side using tongs.

Then cook for an additional 5 to 8 minutes until the edges are brown and the cauliflower is fork tender.

TIP: if you want cheesy cauliflower add some shredded cheese on top about 3 minutes before you think they are done.

NOTE: Sometimes I will also baste them with butter.

Serve
