Savory Air-Fried Cauliflower Delight with Almonds & Parmesan

Ingredients

• 3 portions of cauliflower florets
• 3 spoons of vegetable oil, separated
• 1 minced clove of garlic
• 1/3 cup of finely shredded Parmesan cheese
• 1/4 cup of chopped almonds
• 1/4 cup of panko bread crumbs
• 1/2 a teaspoon of crushed dried thyme

Step 1

Begin by placing the cauliflower florets, a drizzle of oil, and minced garlic into a mixing bowl. Gently mix everything together until the florets are evenly coated. Transfer the coated florets into the air fryer basket, arranging them in a single layer for optimal crispiness.

Step 2

Set the air fryer to 360 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius) and cook the cauliflower for around 10 minutes. Remember to give the basket a good shake halfway through to ensure even cooking.

Step 3

Once the initial cook time is up, carefully take the cauliflower back to the mixing bowl. Drizzle the remaining oil over the florets and sprinkle in the Parmesan cheese, sliced almonds, breadcrumbs, and fresh thyme. Toss everything together until the cauliflower is fully coated in this delicious mix.

Step 4

Return the seasoned cauliflower back to the air fryer basket and continue cooking until the mixture turns golden brown and crispy, usually for about 5 more minutes. Enjoy your flavorful and crunchy cauliflower bites!
