Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups cauliflower florets about 1 medium head of cauliflower
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Method
 

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F.

  3. Place the seasoned cauliflower florets in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
  4. Cook for 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking.
