    Air Fryer Cauliflower

    Air fryer cauliflower is a great way to enjoy this healthy vegetable. The air fryer cooks the cauliflower in a light layer of oil, which helps to lock in moisture and keep the vegetables from drying out. This is an excellent alternative to deep-fried or oven-roasted cauliflower, and it’s easy to make.

    This also allows the seasonings to penetrate the cauliflower, giving it loads of flavor. And, because the air fryer cooks the vegetables quickly, they retain their nutrients and flavor.

    Coat cauliflower florets in your favorite seasonings or sauces, then air fry them until they are crispy and golden brown. You can make them vegan or coat in Parmesan and crumbs to make crispy cheesy bites. Both ways they taste delicious.

    Spray a little oil for that browning affecting on the cauliflower. However, you can substitute the oil with broth for completely oil-free.
