The air fryer makes them extra crispy without the need for deep frying. Perfect for anyone on a keto diet or looking for a healthy vegetable alternative to traditional fried snacks.

Ingredients:

  • 1 medium cauliflower head, cut into florets
  • 1/4 cup almond flour
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (or avocado oil)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3-5 minutes.
  2. Prepare the Cauliflower: Wash and cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets. Pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture, which will help them crisp up.
  3. Coat the Cauliflower: In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, grated Parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika (if using), salt, and pepper. Add the cauliflower florets to the bowl, then drizzle with olive oil. Toss everything together until the cauliflower is evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
  4. Cook in the Air Fryer: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with oil. Place the cauliflower florets in a single layer in the basket, making sure they are not overcrowded. Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 12-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the cauliflower is golden brown and crispy.
  5. Serve: Once the cauliflower bites are cooked, remove them from the air fryer and let them cool for a couple of minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for added color and freshness.
