Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head cauliflower
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.25 cup parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Begin by cutting the cauliflower head into evenly-sized florets. Rinse them under cold water and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and ground black pepper. Whisk them together to form a homogeneous mixture.
Add the cauliflower florets to the bowl, tossing them thoroughly to ensure each piece is well-coated with the seasoning mixture.
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 3 minutes.
Place the seasoned cauliflower florets in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you might need to cook them in batches to avoid overcrowding.
Air fry the cauliflower for 10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through the cooking time to ensure even cooking.
After 10 minutes, check the cauliflower for doneness. It should be tender on the inside and golden brown on the outside. If needed, air fry for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Once cooked, transfer the cauliflower to a serving plate. Sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese over the hot cauliflower to slightly melt the cheese.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve immediately as a delightful snack or as a side dish to your keto-friendly main course.
