Instructions
1. Prepare the Cauliflower
- Wash and cut cauliflower into bite-size florets.
- Pat dry with a towel.
2. Season
- In a bowl, toss cauliflower with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and onion powder until evenly coated.
3. Air Fry
- Preheat air fryer to 190°C (375°F).
- Place cauliflower in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
