Preheat your air fryer to 400Β°F (200Β°C).
Chop the cauliflower into bite-sized florets, discarding the tough core and leaves.
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Add the cauliflower florets to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated with the spice mixture.
Place the seasoned cauliflower florets in the basket of the preheated air fryer, making sure they are in a single layer for even cooking.
Air fry the cauliflower at 400Β°F (200Β°C) for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking. Cook until the florets are crispy and golden brown.
Once cooked, remove the cauliflower from the air fryer and place it in a serving bowl.
Drizzle with fresh lemon juice and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
