Ingredients

Cauliflower
1 medium head cauliflower, leaves trimmed
2 tbsp olive oil
Spice Coating
1/4 cup Greek yogurt
1 tsp turmeric
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp smoked paprika
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp cayenne
Finish
2 tbsp tahini
Fresh lemon juice
Fresh cilantro
Toasted pine nuts

Equipment

  • Air Fryer Parchment Liners

Steps

  1. 1

    Trim cauliflower so it sits flat. If large, cut in half to fit your air fryer.

  2. 2

    Mix yogurt with all spices. Rub the mixture all over the cauliflower, getting into the crevices.

  3. 3

    Drizzle with olive oil. Air fry at 375°F for 20-25 minutes until deeply golden and a knife slides easily into the center.

  4. 4

    Drizzle with tahini and lemon juice. Top with cilantro and pine nuts.

  5. 5

    Slice into wedges and serve as a showpiece side dish.

💡

Tip: Size matters — make sure the cauliflower fits with the lid closed. The yogurt coating creates a gorgeous crust while keeping the inside tender. Check doneness with a knife through the stem.
