Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 package frozen cauliflower
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste
  • garlic powder, paprika, or your favorite spice blend Optional seasonings

Instructions

  • Open the package of frozen cauliflower—no need to thaw.
  • Place the cauliflower directly into the air fryer basket in a single layer.
  • Set the air fryer to 400°F and cook for 10 minutes.
  • Check the thickest piece—if it’s not fully cooked, air fry for an additional 5 minutes.
  • Once done, use a spatula to remove the cauliflower from the air fryer.
  • Season with salt, black pepper, or any preferred spices.
  • Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

  • If using a larger package of frozen cauliflower, cooking time may vary. Check for doneness by cutting into the thickest piece.
  • Seasonings don’t stick well to frozen food, so it’s best to season after cooking.
  • For extra crispiness, shake the basket halfway through cooking.
