Ingredients

• 1 head cauliflower
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 0.5 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons hot honey
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.75 teaspoon kosher salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Cooking instructions

1. Cut the cauliflower into bite-size florets and pat them dry. Preheat the air fryer to 390°F for 3 minutes. (about 5 min) — 390°F
2. In a large bowl, toss the florets with the olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the panko and toss until evenly coated. (about 5 min)
3. Arrange the cauliflower in a single layer in the air-fryer basket, working in batches if needed. Air-fry for 12 to 15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the coating is golden and the cauliflower is tender when pierced. (about 15 min) — 390°F
