Preparation

  2. Add the seasoned cauliflower to the air fryer basket in a single layer.
  3. Air fry for 12-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, use the air fryer to regain crispiness. For longer storage, freeze in a single layer and then transfer to a freezer bag for up to a month.
