1 medium head cauliflower (1 1/2 pounds, about 6 cups raw)
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil (or use olive oil spray)
2 cloves garlic, pressed or smashed and minced
1/2 teaspoon Italian herb blend

Optional: 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan

  • Add the olive oil, garlic, herbs, salt, and pepper to the cauliflower. Toss to coat evenly.
  • Place the seasoned cauliflower in the air fryer basket.

If desired, add 2 tablespoons of Parmesan cheese to the cauliflower and continue cooking for 1 or 2 additional minutes. Taste and adjust the seasonings with more salt and pepper, if necessary.
  • Transfer the cooked cauliflower to a serving bowl, then garnish with parsley and extra Parmesan cheese, if desired.

  • Toss the cauliflower in olive oil and seasonings: This will help the cauliflower to crisp up and develop flavor.
  • Preheat your air fryer: This will help the cauliflower to cook evenly.
  • Cook the cauliflower in batches: Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket. Cook the cauliflower in batches to ensure that it cooks evenly.
  • Shake the air fryer basket during cooking: This will help the cauliflower to cook evenly and prevent it from sticking to the basket.
