Equipment

  • 1 Ninja Foodi Air fryer with roast fuction

Ingredients
  

  • 1 head Cauliflower cut into bite sized florests
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp sweet paprika powder
  • 1 tsp cracked black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Prep & Dry: Wash the cauliflower florets and dry them completely with a clean kitchen towel. (Wet florets will steam instead of getting crispy!)
  • Season: Place the dry cauliflower in a bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt, pepper, and paprika powder, and toss well to coat every piece.
  • Preheat: Turn on your Ninja Foodi, select the Roast function, set the temperature to 180°C, and let it preheat.
  • Cook: Add the cauliflower to the basket in a single layer. Roast for 13 minutes total.
  • Shake: Every 4 to 5 minutes, give the basket a good shake so the florets brown evenly on all sides. Serve hot!

Notes

  • Oven Conversion: If you don't have a Ninja Foodi, you can roast these on a lined baking tray in a standard oven at 220°C for 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Pro-Tip: Make sure the florets aren't crowded in the basket so the air can circulate properly to get those perfect charred edges.
  • Spray Oil Bottle : I used the oil sprayer as it evenly coat the oil on cauliflower
