Equipment

Ingredients
 

  • 1 head cauliflower cut into small pieces
  • 1 teaspoon (2 g) paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon (1 g) black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon (0.5 g) mild chili powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon (0.5 g) onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon (1 g) mustard powder

Instructions
 

  • Cut the cauliflower into bite-sized pieces.
  • Combine the seasonings in a bowl.
  • Sprinkle the seasoning mix onto the cauliflower and spread it out in the air fryer basket. Spray lightly with cooking oil.
  • Set the air fryer to 400°F(205°C) and cook for 10 minutes. Flip the pieces at the halfway point.

Notes

  • Cut the cauliflower into bite-sized pieces. They will cook better being all the same size and they will be easier to eat.
  • Toss the cauliflower to make sure the seasoning makes it onto each piece.
  • Don't overcrowd the basket. You want the air to circulate to make each piece crispy.
  • Check cauliflower half way through and adjust time to your preference.
  • Cooking times will vary from model to model.

All air fryers have different wattage and may cook at different rates. You may need to adjust the time or temp for the best results.
