Cooking Tip

Using an air fryer for this recipe can make the cauliflower a little crispier, but you can also roast the cauliflower in the oven, which might be a better option if you’re making a large quantity. Preheat the oven to205°C and spread the cauliflower out in a single layer on a baking tray. Roast for at least 45 minutes, turning once halfway through, until golden and tender.
