Notes
Each Air fryer is different. Adjust the timing if needed according to your air fryer. Cooking time also depends on the size of the cauliflower florets. Make sure you chop them in uniform size as much as possible.
Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket. If your air fryer is small in capacity, fry the florets in batches.
You can customize the spices according to your preference. Paprika powder, Garlic powder, Onion powder, Italian Seasoning, Pepper Powder, and Chaat Masala are a few of the options that can be used.
