Air Fryer Breaded Cauliflower features cauliflower florets coated in a paprika-spiced batter, then breaded and cooked in an air fryer until golden and crispy. The cauliflower becomes tender inside with a crunchy crust outside, providing a flavorful and textured vegetable snack or side. The recipe includes parboiling to tenderize before coating and air frying for a crisp finish with minimal oil.

  1. First wash the cauliflower well and divide all the florets, making sure to cut them small.
  2. Parboiling (means quickly boiling)  them for about 5 minutes in boiling salted water and then let them dry well.
  3. Meanwhile, let's prepare the batter.
  4. In a bowl, sift the flour. To the flour add the paprika, garlic salt and a little black pepper, and mix together.
  5. Add the water slowly and mix to perfection with a whisk to avoid forming annoying lumps, When we have obtained a smooth and homogeneous batter, we set it aside.
  6. In another bowl, pour in the breadcrumbs.
  7. Preheat the the air fryer to 200°C (400°F)
  8. Take the cauliflower florets and pass first in the batter and then in the breadcrumbs.
  9. Place the cauliflower in the basket  and pour a drizzle of olive oil over it (or better with a spray oil). Be careful not to place them one on top of the other.
  10. Cook at 200°C for 10 minutes. Shake them halfway through cooking.
  11.  When the cauliflower is golden brown it is ready.
