Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat the air fryer to 400°F for 5 minutes. In a large bowl, toss 4 cups cauliflower florets with 3 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1/2 tsp cumin powder, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 3/4 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper until thoroughly coated.
  2. Step 2: Place the seasoned cauliflower in the air fryer basket in a single layer and cook at 400°F for 15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even crisping.
  3. Step 3: While cauliflower cooks, blend 1 whole ripe avocado (peeled and pitted) with 1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves, 1 tbsp fresh lime juice, 2 tbsp Greek yogurt, and 2 tbsp water until smooth and creamy.
  4. Step 4: Serve the spiced cauliflower bites hot with the avocado cilantro dip on the side for dipping.
