Air fryer cauliflower is a quick and easy way to get perfectly crispy and flavorful cauliflower. The key to success is to use a high heat setting and to toss the cauliflower in a little olive oil, salt, and pepper before cooking. This will help to create a golden brown crust on the outside while keeping the inside tender and moist.
Cauliflower is a versatile vegetable that can be used in a variety of dishes. It's a good source of fiber, vitamins, and minerals, and it's also low in calories. Air frying is a great way to cook cauliflower because it results in a crispy exterior and a tender interior. This recipe is simple to follow and can be customized to your liking. You can add your favorite spices or herbs to the cauliflower before cooking, or you can serve it with a dipping sauce of your choice.

Why It Works
Using a high heat setting helps to create a crispy crust on the cauliflower.
Tossing the cauliflower in olive oil, salt, and pepper helps to season the cauliflower and prevent it from sticking to the air fryer basket.
Shaking the basket a few times during cooking helps to ensure that the cauliflower cooks evenly.
