- 1 small head cauliflower , cut into bite-size florets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Chinese chili flakes (or paprika for a non-spicy dish)
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground Sichuan peppercorn (or black pepper)
- 1/2 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1 green onion , sliced
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 10 minutes.
Add the cauliflower into a big bowl. Drizzle with olive oil. Add the Chinese chili flakes, cumin powder, garlic, salt, and ground Sichuan peppercorns. Toss to coat well.
Roast the cauliflower in the air fryer at 400°F (200°C) for 8 to 9 minutes, until just al dente and the edges are charred.
Transfer the air fryer tray to the kitchen counter. Add the green onion and drizzle with soy sauce. Toss with a spatula. Air fry for another 2 minutes or so, until the cauliflower turns tender and the edges are browned. Serve hot as a side dish.
