Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head cauliflower
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
Cut the cauliflower head into bite-sized florets, ensuring they are uniform in size for even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, sea salt, and black pepper. Stir well to create a seasoning mixture.
Add the cauliflower florets to the bowl and toss them thoroughly until all pieces are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
Place the seasoned cauliflower florets in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding the basket to ensure even cooking.
Air fry the cauliflower for 12-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through the cooking time, until the florets are golden brown and crisp on the edges.
Remove the cauliflower from the air fryer and transfer it to a serving bowl.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Enjoy your delicious Paleo Air Fried Cauliflower as a healthy side dish or snack!
