Air Fryer Cauliflower Bites
Ingredients:
- 1 medium head of cauliflower, cut into florets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: grated Parmesan cheese or nutritional yeast for topping
Instructions:
- Prepare the Cauliflower: Wash the cauliflower thoroughly and cut it into bite-sized florets. Pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
- Season the Cauliflower: In a large bowl, toss the cauliflower florets with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 3-5 minutes.
- Air Fry the Cauliflower: Once the air fryer is preheated, arrange the cauliflower florets in a single layer in the air fryer basket. You may need to do this in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
- Cooking Time: Air fry the cauliflower for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking, until the cauliflower is tender and golden brown.
- Serve: Once cooked, remove the cauliflower from the air fryer and transfer it to a serving plate. Optionally, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese or nutritional yeast for added flavor.
- Enjoy: Serve the air fryer cauliflower bites as a healthy snack or side dish. They’re delicious on their own or served with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch or tahini sauce.
This recipe yields crispy and flavorful cauliflower bites without the need for excess oil, making it a healthier alternative to traditional fried cauliflower dishes. Enjoy!
