Tossing cauliflower florets with oil and flavorful garlic salt and air frying it until browned and crispy makes this 20-minute side dish irresistible.

Ingredients

  • 11/4 pounds cauliflower florets (half a large head or all of a small to medium head)
  • 1 tablespoonavocado oil (or other neutral oil)
  • ½ teaspoongarlic salt (kinder’s or lawry’s are my favorite brands)

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat an air fryer to 400°F.

  2. 2

    While the air fryer preheats, add the cauliflower to a large mixing bowl. Drizzle the avocado oil over the cauliflower, then sprinkle with the garlic salt. Toss until all of the florets are evenly coated with the oil and seasoning.

  3. 3

    Add the cauliflower to the preheated air fryer, shaking it to ensure that it is spread out in an even layer. Air fry until the cauliflower is crisp-tender and browned in places, about 15 minutes, shaking the basket once halfway through the cooking time.

  4. 4

    Transfer the cauliflower to a serving dish and serve right away—it’s crispiest while it’s still piping hot! Don't leave it in the air fryer after the cooking program ends or it can begin to steam and become soggy.  Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. To reheat, air fry at 400ºF until hot, 2 to 3 minutes.  Love the recipe? Leave us stars and a comment below!
