A great, easy cauliflower side dish that pairs well with any protein. I've used smoked paprika, a favorite of mine, but feel free to add your favorite flavors. Enjoy!

Air Fryer Roasted Cauliflower

garlic

peanut oil

salt

½ teaspoon smoked paprika

cauliflower florets

Preheat an air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).


Cut garlic in half and smash with the blade of a knife. Place in a bowl with oil, salt, and paprika. Add cauliflower and turn to coat.


Place the coated cauliflower in the bowl of the air fryer and cook to desired crispiness, shaking every 5 minutes, about 15 minutes total.


I just got a new air fryer and had a head of cauliflower in the fridge so this was my first air fryer experience.  I shook it a couple of times during cooking and when I checked at 15 minutes it was burned-beyond edible!  I'm thinking this is way too long on the time.  I'm fine with some brown on the pieces but black is too done!

Delicious! Watch carefully, as if you are using smaller florets they will be almost burnt crispy at 15 minutes. We loved this recipe and will use it frequently. Three cloves of garlic sounds like a lot, but it definitely not over-garlicky. Delicious!

I used mild Chili Powder instead of Paprika.  Flavor was amazing. Rest of recipe was the same.

So happy to find a new way to make cauliflower. I am not a big fan of cauliflower and it's taste but have found that roasting it makes it a game changer when trying to eat healthy. Definitely a recipe that can be customized to what flavor of dish you want to serve along side. Going to try adding buffalo sauce after cooking the next time. Thanks for sharing.

I have a similar recipe to this so I knew it wouldn't disappoint. My original recipe called for smoked paprika but it was pretty potent and I panicked and changed it up to regular paprika. I was tickled pink when I saw this recipe because it confirmed to me that great minds think alike. Smoked paprika it is! Great recipe and 5 stars all the way!

I used this as a base to  "stuffing"  roasted with thyme and garlic and parsley and sage.  Then returned to pan to finish with celery and onion..  served with roasted pork ribs and brussel sprouts with basalmic.. good meal :)

I love cauliflower and in the air Fryer it was quick, easy and delicious.  I substituted olive oil for the peanut oil as I didn't have any.

Great way to change up cauliflower.  Only change I made was using coconut oil because that's what I had on hand. Absolutely delicious!

Added a few additional seasonings with lemon juice (&amp; capers) &amp; substituted active nutritional yeast &amp; pine nuts. SO yummy!

So delicious! I did add five minutes to the time, as suggested in the Cook’s Note. Maybe I’ll use a bit less salt next time, but we gobbled this up in no time!

Amazing and delicious cauliflower. I'm loving my new grille and air fryer. Love Allrecipes too!!

So easy and delicious! I have been tired of cauliflower for years, now I can't wait to make this again!

First time with air fryer.  Ended up over cooking as I took the "add three minutes if cold" to mean if the machine was indoors.  My mistake.  I also cooked 2.5 cups instead of 4.  I did not adjust the time downward so my outcome was shall we say "deeply browned".  First time for everything.  Next time, I will use more of the ingredients and cut down on the cook time.  I will plan on 12 minutes and add more as needed based upon visual inspection.

No way is this recipe intended for fresh cauliflower.  The first time I made this was with a head of fresh cauliflower in a FrenchMay 3.7 qt 1500 watt air fryer.  After 15 minutes at 400F it turned into incinerated cauliflower which stunk up the house for days.  The second time I made this recipe was with frozen cauliflower florets at 400F for 15 minutes and the cauliflower came out pretty decent.

And the directions to preheat your air fryer makes me wonder if recipe writer understands the concept of air frying, or if they have ever used an air fryer.

This was GREAT.   But read others and take the advice... DO NOT bake for 15 minutes.  8 to 10 is fine.  Add the Chili powder like someone else recommended.   Fantastic

My husband, and I did not care for this one.  Maybe it was us.  We will not make it again.

I used Lowery’s Seasoning. It turned out delicious.

15 minutes in the air fryer and it turned out perfectly. Right amount of crispy and crunch. Mixed in a sliced red pepper.

This was delicious.  Just like any recipe- time and temperature may need to be adjusted based on your appliance and the size of your florets.  The flavor was great.  Texture was perfect.  Crispy but not greasy.  The smashed garlic was a nice touch.  Different garlic experience than just pressing it or mincing it.

It was ok, but not good enough to make again.

I had to use olive oil, and it took about 3-4 tablespoons, upped the spices.  Next time I'll put it all in a big baggie to coat better and probably use less.  Took just about 15 minutes.  I ended up adding about 1/4 cup of onion to add some more flavor - if you are strict keto, make sure to count those carbs, but it really made it much better IMO.  Thanks so much for the great recipe, needed a new twist on this keto staple.

First of all this was way too salty. Disappointing flavor over  all.

I was so impressed by how quickly the cauliflower roasted and started getting crispy. I feel like it was half the time it would take in a conventional oven. Drizzled hot sauce over and ate as a snack. So delish!
