🥦 Air-Fried Crispy Cauliflower (Low-Carb)
🧾 Ingredients:
1 medium head cauliflower (cut into bite-sized florets)
2 tbsp olive oil
3 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese (optional but 🔥)
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp paprika (smoked if you have it)
½ tsp onion powder
½ tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
Optional: pinch of chili flakes (for heat)
👩🍳 Instructions:
Prep the cauliflower
Wash and dry well (very important for crispiness!). Cut into small florets.
Season
In a bowl, toss cauliflower with olive oil, then add all spices + Parmesan. Mix until evenly coated.
Air fry
Preheat air fryer to 200°C (400°F)
Arrange florets in a single layer (don’t overcrowd!)
Cook for 15–20 minutes, shaking halfway through
Make it extra crispy (optional)
Air fry 2–3 extra minutes at the end for that “tater tot” crunch.
😋 Optional Dips:
Garlic yogurt sauce
Spicy mayo (mayo + chili sauce)
Ranch dressing
🔥 Pro Tips:
Smaller florets = crispier results
Don’t skip drying the cauliflower
Add a little cornstarch (1 tbsp) if you want EXTRA crunch (still pretty low-carb)
