Chinese-Spiced Air Fryer Cauliflower

Ingredients

• 1 small head cauliflower (, cut into bite-size florets)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Chinese chili flakes ((or paprika for a non-spicy dish))
• 1/2 teaspoon cumin powder
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon ground Sichuan peppercorn ((or black pepper))
• 1/2 teaspoon soy sauce
• 1 green onion (, sliced)

Steps

1. 1

   Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 10 minutes.

2. 2

   Add the cauliflower into a big bowl. Drizzle with olive oil. Add the Chinese chili flakes, cumin powder, garlic, salt, and ground Sichuan peppercorns. Toss to coat well.

3. 3

   Roast the cauliflower in the air fryer at 400°F (200°C) for 8 to 9 minutes, until just al dente and the edges are charred.

4. 4

   Transfer the air fryer tray to the kitchen counter. Add the green onion and drizzle with soy sauce. Toss with a spatula. Air fry for another 2 minutes or so, until the cauliflower turns tender and the edges are browned. Serve hot as a side dish.
