Ingredients
- 1 head cauliflower
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.25 cup parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Begin by cutting the cauliflower head into evenly-sized florets. Rinse them under cold water and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and ground black pepper. Whisk them together to form a homogeneous mixture.
Step 3
Add the cauliflower florets to the bowl, tossing them thoroughly to ensure each piece is well-coated with the seasoning mixture.
Step 4
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 3 minutes.
Step 5
Place the seasoned cauliflower florets in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you might need to cook them in batches to avoid overcrowding.
Step 6
Air fry the cauliflower for 10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through the cooking time to ensure even cooking.
Step 7
After 10 minutes, check the cauliflower for doneness. It should be tender on the inside and golden brown on the outside. If needed, air fry for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Step 8
Once cooked, transfer the cauliflower to a serving plate. Sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese over the hot cauliflower to slightly melt the cheese.
Step 9
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Step 10
Serve immediately as a delightful snack or as a side dish to your keto-friendly main course.
