Air fried cauliflower makes a great, quick and easy side dish. Adjust the seasonings to taste, or feel free to add different spices to taste. You can use garlic powder or minced garlic. The minced garlic may brown a bit in the air fryer, but many find it delicious that way. Make sure to gently shake or toss the cauliflower halfway through cooking to help the cauliflower cook evenly.

Ingredients
1small head cauliflower(about 1.5 lbs./680g), cut into bite sized pieces
2Tablespoons(30ml)vegetable oil, or to taste
1/2teaspoon(2.5ml)garlic powder, or 3 cloves garlic minced
Place the cut up cauliflower in a large bowl. In another bowl combine the oil, garlic powder (or minced garlic), salt, and pepper.Alternate seasoning: Don't combine the seasonings. Instead, in the following step, just add the oil and individual seasonings to the caulifower. (Both ways work fine, some cooks like to combine everythign first, others don't want to dirty an extra bowl. You chose how you like to cook).
Pour about half of the seasoned marinade over the cauliflower. Toss and then repeat with the remaining seasonings (it helps season the cauliflower more evenly to mix in stages). Continue stirring the cauliflower until it completely soaks up all the marinade (there shouldn't be any marinade pooling at the bottom of the bowl).
Put the cauliflower into air fryer basket and spread evenly in the basket.
Air Fry at 360°F/180°C for 12-18 minutes, shake or gently turn half way. Cook to your desired tenderness and liking. Season with chopped parsely if desired.
