- 1/2 cup milk
- Salt, black pepper, and paprika to taste
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
How to Make Crispy Air Fryer Cauliflower:
- Cut the cauliflower into florets and blanch them in boiling water for 5 minutes to soften slightly without losing their texture.
- Drain the cauliflower well and set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, salt, black pepper, and paprika.
- Add the all-purpose flour to the mixture and stir until you have a smooth batter.
- Dip each cauliflower floret into the batter, ensuring they are evenly coated.
- Place the florets in the Air Fryer or on a baking sheet in an oven preheated to 400°F (200°C). Cook for about 10–15 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Enjoy!
