Ingredients:

  • 2 lbs cauliflower, cut into bite-sized florets
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 3/4 tsp fine sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions:

  1. Ensure cauliflower florets are completely dry to prevent steaming and ensure maximum crispiness.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the florets with olive oil until evenly coated.
  3. Sprinkle in the garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper, tossing again until the florets are evenly coated in a vibrant orange-red hue.
  4. Preheat the air fryer to 390°F (200°C) for 3 minutes.
  5. Place florets in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not overfilled to allow proper air circulation.
  6. Air fry for 7 minutes, then remove the basket and shake vigorously or flip with tongs.
  7. Air fry for another 6–8 minutes until the edges are mahogany-colored and centers are tender.
  8. Immediately upon removal, drizzle with fresh lemon juice and garnish with chopped parsley.
