How to Prepare Keto Cauliflower?

Preparing cauliflower for this dish is a quick job. All you need is to cut the veggie in small florets, preferably in similar sizes, to ensure even cooking. Be wary of large stem ends. It might sound complicated but gets pretty easy with time. Here is how you can do it.Cut thick cauliflower in half or into quarters, and chop the middle part, leaving florets of roughly the same size on the top. Depending on your preference, you can keep the stem end of each floret long or short.If you want, you can buy already-cut cauliflower florets from the super-market to save you time and effort. However, they tend to be a little expensive.Once the florets are ready for keto cauliflower, toss them in some extra virgin olive oil and seasoning of your choice. Using olive oil will keep the nutritious-ness of the keto cauliflower recipe intact while adding a buttery flavor to it.If you prefer crunchy cauliflower, dip the florets in egg, coat with ground pork rinds, and drizzle with olive oil before placing in the air fryer. Serve with lemon slices and sprinkled parsley for a refreshing taste and presentation.

How to Tell the Keto Air Fryer Cauliflower is Done Cooking?

The keto cauliflower takes up to 20 minutes in the air fryer to get the right texture – tender inside and crusty outside. Usually 10 minutes is enough time, but it does depend on how thick your cauliflower is. The best way to know if they are cooked is by sticking a fork in the florets. If the fork easily pierces through, the keto cauliflower is ready.
