How to make Air Fryer Cauliflower?

• Toss with oil and seasoning.

• Preheat air fryer to 370 degrees F.

How to cut the cauliflower?

First, cut off the stem and leaves. Next, cut cauliflower into large pieces, then separate those into smaller florets. Cut them into bite-size pieces. Same size pieces will cook evenly.

Yes, frozen cauliflower works too. It may take longer to cook, so keep that in mind. Fresh cauliflower is always recommended.

Can I add broccoli?

Absolutely! Both vegetables can be cooked together and will be delicious!
