Directions

Step 1

Cut the cauliflower head into bite-sized florets and wash them thoroughly. Pat the florets dry with a clean kitchen towel.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and black pepper. Stir until well mixed.

Step 3

Add the cauliflower florets to the mixing bowl and toss well to ensure each piece is evenly coated with the spice and oil mixture.

Step 4

Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes.

Step 5

Place the seasoned cauliflower florets in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd them. You may need to cook them in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.

Step 6

Air fry the cauliflower at 375°F for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through the cooking time to ensure even cooking.

Step 7

Once the cauliflower is crispy and golden brown, remove it from the air fryer and transfer it to a serving platter.

Step 8

Drizzle the lemon juice over the crispy cauliflower and sprinkle freshly chopped parsley on top for added flavor and garnish.

Step 9

Serve immediately while hot. Enjoy your low sodium air-fried cauliflower as a healthy snack or side dish.
