Air Fryer Cauliflower

This Air Fryer Cauliflower showcases large cauliflower florets coated in a blend of turmeric, smoked paprika, garlic and onion powders, and Parmesan, then roasted until tender with lightly crisped edges. The combination of spices and Parmesan adds a savory, slightly smoky depth while the air fryer method ensures even cooking with minimal oil. A sprinkle of fresh parsley and a squeeze of lemon brighten the dish, making it a flavorful vegetable side that pairs well with various mains or can be enjoyed as a snack with dipping sauce.

Description

Air Fryer Cauliflower uses whole cauliflower florets tossed in olive oil and a mix of turmeric, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and grated Parmesan cheese before roasting in an air fryer. The seasoning lends a warm, earthy, and mildly smoky flavor enhanced by the Parmesan's richness. Cooking at 390°F for 12–15 minutes crisps the edges while keeping the inside tender.

The cauliflower is garnished with fresh parsley and served with lemon wedges and a preferred dipping sauce to add brightness and extra flavor. This preparation method offers a hands-off way to roast cauliflower with flavorful spices and a slightly caramelized surface, suitable as a side or appetizer.

Since the cauliflower can burn easily, frequent checking and shaking the basket promote even cooking and prevent charring. Using fresh Parmesan and parsley adds to the overall taste and presentation.
