  3. Preheat the air fryer to 180°C (356°F) and once it reaches the temperature, place the cauliflower in the basket and cook for 20-25 minutes, making sure to stir halfway through cooking.

Variations and Alternatives

You can enhance your Air Fryer Cauliflower by sprinkling it with paprika or turmeric, or try a two-step cooking method: first in the microwave and then in the air fryer.

Tips

To achieve tender Air Fryer Cauliflower, we recommend parboiling the florets for 5-10 minutes or, even better, cooking them in a microwave-safe container at maximum power for 10 minutes. Once softened, season to taste and complete the cooking in the air fryer at 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes.

Storage

Air Fryer Cauliflower can be stored in the refrigerator for 1-2 days without any issues.
