Air Fryer Cauliflower

Air Fryer Cauliflower florets are tossed with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper, then cooked at high heat to create a crispy-tender vegetable dish with a mild smoky flavor. This preparation offers an efficient way to roast cauliflower with minimal oil and easy cleanup.

Description

The Air Fryer Cauliflower recipe uses fresh cauliflower florets coated evenly in olive oil and a simple seasoning blend including smoked paprika and garlic powder. Cooking in the air fryer at 390°F crisps the exterior while keeping the inside tender. The smoked paprika adds a subtle smoky note that enhances the cauliflower’s natural sweetness.

This approach is convenient and faster than traditional roasting, with the air fryer basket occasionally shaken to ensure even browning. The resulting cauliflower can be served as a side vegetable or incorporated into salads and bowls.

A suggestion included in the notes recommends air fryer liners to simplify cleanup but no particular serving or storage tips are noted.

Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 cauliflower cut into florets, small head
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper freshly ground

Instructions

  1. Toss Together. In a large mixing bowl, toss the cauliflower florets, oil, paprika, garlic, salt, and pepper.
  2. Air fry the cauliflower. Transfer the cauliflower to the basket of an air fryer. You may need to cook in batches if the basket is too crowded. Set the temperature to 390°F (200°C) and cook for 12 to 15 minutes, shaking the basket every few minutes for even browning.
