🥦 Air Fryer roasted cauliflower: the healthy & crispy snack
Forget bland, boiled cauliflower! With the Air Fryer, it transforms into golden, fragrant bites, like veggie popcorn. A recipe ready in under 20 minutes, without frying, and bursting with flavor.

💡 Why is the Air Fryer cauliflower so popular?

It's the perfect alternative to fries or nuggets! The air fryer's pulsed heat caramelizes the edges of the florets while keeping them tender in the center. It's light, vegan, gluten-free , and above all, incredibly fast. Whether for a spontaneous appetizer or a unique side dish, it's always a hit.

🛒 Ingredients

Serves 4

🥦 1
Medium cauliflower

🫒 2 tbsp
Olive oil

🌶️ 1 tsp
Smoked paprika

🌿 0.5 tsp
Cumin

⚡ Step-by-step preparation

1. Cutting: Cut the cauliflower into small florets. Rinse them and dry them thoroughly with a tea towel.

2. Marinade: In a large bowl, combine the florets with the oil, paprika, garlic powder, and cumin. Stir well to coat each piece.

3. Roasting: Preheat to 200°C. Place in the basket and cook for 12 to 15 minutes , shaking halfway through cooking.

🤩 Lou's tip: For an even more "grilled" effect, add 2 tablespoons of grated parmesan 3 minutes before the end of cooking!

🤫 Secrets to a perfect result

Drying: If the cauliflower is damp, it will steam instead of grilling. Dry it well!
Space: Do not fill the basket more than halfway to allow air to circulate.
Sauce: Serve them with a Greek yogurt, garlic and lemon sauce for a divine temperature contrast.
