Step 1: Prepare the Cauliflower - Wash and dry the cauliflower thoroughly. Cut it into medium bite-sized florets so they cook evenly.
Step 2: Make the Batter - In a large bowl, whisk together: Flour, Milk, Garlic powder, Onion powder, Paprika, Salt, Black pepper. The batter should be thick enough to coat the florets lightly.
Step 3: Coat the Cauliflower - Dip each cauliflower floret into the batter, letting excess batter drip off. Roll the coated florets in breadcrumbs or panko until fully covered.
Step 4: Preheat the Air Fryer - Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3–5 minutes.
Step 5: Air Fry - Arrange the cauliflower in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding. Lightly spray with olive oil. Cook for 18–22 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
Step 6: Serve - Serve immediately while hot and crispy with your favorite dipping sauce.
