Ingredients
- 1 head Cauliflower

- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.75 cup Unsweetened almond milk

Directions
Step 1
Begin by washing the cauliflower thoroughly. Cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets and set aside.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine chickpea flour, nutritional yeast, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and black pepper. Mix well to create a dry batter.
Step 3
Gradually add the unsweetened almond milk to the dry mixture, stirring constantly until a thick, smooth batter forms.
Step 4
Add the cauliflower florets to the batter, ensuring each piece is evenly coated.
Step 5
Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
Step 6
Lightly spray the air fryer basket with olive oil spray to prevent sticking.
Step 7
Arrange the battered cauliflower florets in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding by cooking in batches if necessary.
Step 8
Air fry the cauliflower for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking to ensure even crisping.
Step 9
Once the cauliflower is golden brown and crispy, remove it from the air fryer and allow it to cool slightly before serving.
Step 10
Serve hot as a high-protein snack or a nutritious side dish. Enjoy!
