Notes

Darker Edges

If you like a darker crust on your cauliflower, increase the temperature to 400°F. The smaller bits of cauliflower may char, but they will still taste slightly sweet and roasted.

Do Not Crowd The Basket

Keep the cauliflower in a single layer as much as possible so the florets roast instead of steam. Cook in batches if your air fryer basket is small.

Toss Halfway Through

For the best texture, toss the florets halfway through cooking so they brown more evenly on all sides.
