Caramelized Air Fryer Cauliflower

1 tsp smoked paprika

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp cumin seeds

1 tsp salt

½ tsp cayenne pepper (plus more to taste (omit for a milder flavor))

1 medium head of cauliflower (about 1 ½lbs. cored and chopped (include the small leaves and as much of the stalk as you’d like))

2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil or avocado oil

Preheat the air fryer to 350°F. If you plan to line the air fryer with parchment paper, place it down when you add the veggies, not during the preheat.
In a large bowl, toss the cauliflower florets with the oil. Then toss with the spices and salt until every piece is evenly coated.
Add the cauliflower to the basket in a single layer (a little overlap is fine—it will shrink as it cooks). Depending on your air fryer size, you may need to cook in batches.
Air fry for about 20 minutes, flipping the cauliflower every 5 minutes, until the cauliflower is golden brown, fork-tender, and caramelized on the edges.
