Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large head of cauliflower, cut into florets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or avocado oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- Optional: Parmesan cheese or nutritional yeast for extra flavor
- Fresh chopped parsley or cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- Start by washing and cutting your cauliflower into evenly-sized florets. Proper preparation ensures even cooking and maximum crispiness.
- In a large bowl, toss the cauliflower florets with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. For a cheesy twist, sprinkle some Parmesan or nutritional yeast afterward.
- Preheat your Ninja Air Fryer to 375°F (190°C). Place the seasoned cauliflower in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to promote even crisping.
- Once golden and crispy, transfer to a serving plate. Garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro, and enjoy immediately. For an extra flavor boost, sprinkle with additional Parmesan cheese.
Notes
- Allow leftovers to cool completely before storing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 3-4 minutes to restore crunchiness.
- You can customize seasonings or add toppings like chopped herbs or cheese for enhanced flavor.
