How long do you air fry cauliflower?

Small cauliflower florets (1–1.5 in / 2.5–4 cm) take 10–14 minutes at 400°F (205°C), shaken at 6 minutes. Medium florets take 13–17 minutes. Cauliflower steaks (½ in / 13 mm thick slices) take 14–18 minutes, flipped at 8 minutes. The result should be golden-brown on the cut surfaces with a tender interior.

How do you get cauliflower crispy in the air fryer?

Cut cauliflower into uniform florets and dry completely. Toss with 1–2 tsp oil and 1 tbsp cornstarch or a dry spice rub. Cook at 400°F (205°C) in a single layer, shaking at 6 minutes. The cornstarch coating draws surface moisture out quickly, producing a crispier exterior. Do not overcrowd — cauliflower releases steam as it cooks and needs space for it to escape.

Conseils

Cut florets to a uniform size — uneven florets mean some char while others remain crunchy and undercooked in the center.
Dry cauliflower completely before oiling — it holds water in its floret structure and wet pieces steam rather than roast.
Toss with 1–2 tsp of oil per 2 cups of florets and season generously; cauliflower has a mild flavor that needs assertive seasoning.
For extra crispiness, toss with 1 tbsp of cornstarch before oiling — it absorbs surface moisture quickly.
Shake the basket at the halfway point so flat-cut surfaces get direct contact with the heated basket from different angles.

Erreurs Courantes

Overcrowding; cauliflower releases steam as it cooks and needs space for that vapor to escape — pile it in and you get steamed, not roasted, cauliflower.
Skipping preheat; cold-start cauliflower spends several minutes warming up before any browning begins.
Cooking at too low a temperature; cauliflower needs 390–400°F to caramelize the cut surfaces. At 350°F it simply steams.
Adding wet sauces (buffalo, teriyaki) before cooking; liquid converts the dry-heat environment to steaming and the cauliflower stays pale.
Not shaking at halfway; florets resting on one face will char on that side while the other stays grey and undercooked.
