Start by washing the cauliflower head thoroughly under cold water.
Cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets, discarding the large stem and leaves.
Preheat your air fryer to 380Β°F (193Β°C) for about 5 minutes to ensure even cooking.
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Add the cauliflower florets to the bowl and toss until all pieces are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
Place the seasoned cauliflower florets in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
Cook for 15-18 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the cauliflower is golden brown and tender.
Once done, remove the cauliflower from the air fryer and transfer it to a serving platter.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve hot as a side dish or a healthy snack.
