Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium head cauliflower, cut into florets
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon cumin (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Instructions

  3. Place the cauliflower in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding.
