Equipment

Ingredients

1 large head fresh cauliflower (separated into florets)
1-2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper to taste
½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
½ cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Instructions

Preheat air fryer to 390°F.
Place cauliflower florets into a large bowl. Add olive oil, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir to coat, making sure each piece is covered. Spread cauliflower in an even, single layer in air fryer basket.
Air fry for 7 minutes; remove basket and shake. Then top cauliflower with shredded cheeses. Continue to air fry for an additional 3-5 minutes, or until cheese is melted and cauliflower is cooked through. Serve immediately.

Notes

Recipe was made using my 5.8 QT Air Fryer.
I like to use this air fryer parchment paper to avoid having too much cleanup. If using for this cauliflower, place directly onto the basket surface right before adding the cauliflower.
Recipe was adapted from my Baked Cheesy Cauliflower.
