Ingredients

  • 3/4 pound Cauliflower cut into bite-sized florets
  • 2 teaspoons Olive oil for coating
  • Sea salt to taste

Instructions

  • Start by washing the cauliflower thoroughly under running water. Remove the green leaves and cut the cauliflower into florets, ensuring they are roughly the same size for even cooking.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the cauliflower florets with 2 teaspoons of olive oil and sprinkle in sea salt to taste. Toss everything together until the florets are evenly coated.
  • Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). This step is crucial for achieving that crispy texture.
  • Place the seasoned cauliflower florets in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding the basket to ensure even cooking.
  • Cook the cauliflower at 400°F (200°C) for about 12-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to promote even browning. Keep an eye on it; you want it golden and crispy, but not burnt!
  • Once done, remove the cauliflower from the air fryer. Serve it warm as a side dish, or toss it with your favorite sauces for an extra flavor kick. Enjoy!
