Instructions
Preheat your air fryer to 200°C (400°F) for 3–5 minutes.
Wash and dry the cauliflower florets well.
In a large bowl, toss cauliflower with olive oil.
In another bowl, mix breadcrumbs, parmesan, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
Coat the cauliflower evenly in the breadcrumb mixture.
Arrange florets in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
