Method

Preparation Steps

Preheat your oven to 425°F (or set your air fryer to 390°F).
In a large bowl, toss the washed and thoroughly dried cauliflower florets with melted butter until well coated.
In a separate bowl, blend the finely grated Parmesan cheese with paprika and black pepper.
Sprinkle the Parmesan mixture over the buttered cauliflower florets and coat evenly by covering the bowl and shaking gently.
Arrange the coated cauliflower florets in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake for about 20 minutes until crisp and golden.
If using an air fryer, place the coated florets on the crisper plate and cook for approximately 20 minutes, shaking halfway through.
Serve the Parmesan Cauliflower Bites hot from the oven, ideally paired with dips like ranch or marinara.
