1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
1 cup breadcrumbs or pankoCooking & Recipes
Cooking spray
Instructions
Start by washing and drying the cauliflower florets thoroughly. In a large bowl, mix the flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Slowly whisk in the milk until you get a smooth batter.
Dip each cauliflower floret into the batter, making sure it is fully coated. Then roll it in the breadcrumbs or panko for an extra crispy texture.
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray and arrange the cauliflower in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding the basket so the cauliflower cooks evenly and gets crispy.Condiments & Dressings
Spray the tops lightly with cooking spray and air fry for 12–15 minutes, flipping halfway through cooking. The cauliflower should be golden brown and crispy on the edges.
Serve immediately while hot and crispy. You can toss the cauliflower in buffalo sauce for a spicy version or keep it classic with your favorite dip.
