Ingredients

  • 1 medium cauliflower
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion salt with parsley or similar seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
  • 1/4 cup parmesan cheese grated

Instructions

  • Trim 1 medium cauliflower into bite-sized florets (cut from the stem) and transfer to a large bowl.
  • Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon onion salt with parsley and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper on the cauliflower florets and gently toss to combine.
  • Program air fryer to 400°F and set timer for 10 minutes. Allow the air fryer to preheat and when it's ready add the florets.
  • After about 7 minutes, toss the florets in the basket or use a wooden or heat-safe silicon spoon to stir the florets so they will cook evenly. Sprinkle 1/4 cup parmesan cheese grated on top and return the basket to the air fryer.
  • When the air fryer finishes cooking, you may optionally use the broil setting on the air fryer to broil 30-60 seconds if desired (you might need to set it for 1 minute and check after 30 seconds).
