You can quickly roast flavorful cauliflower florets in the air fryer. Simply toss with oil, salt, and your favorite seasonings. We suggest buffalo, curry, or garlic parmesan. The basic recipe and air frying instructions are on this page.

Ingredients

  • 1 head cauliflower
  • Oil spray
  • Salt, pepper, and your seasoning of choice (buffalo, curry, or garlic parmesan are all excellent)

Steps

  1. 01Break or cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets with as many flat surfaces as possible. Same principle as broccoli: flat sides caramelize, round sides just dry out.
  2. 02Spray with oil and season.
  3. 03Ready for the air fryer.
For buffalo cauliflower, air fry the plain florets first, then toss with buffalo sauce AFTER cooking. Sauce before cooking steams the cauliflower instead of roasting it and you get soggy, orange florets instead of crispy ones with a spicy coating.
