Ingredients
  

1 medium head cauliflower, cut into bite-sized florets

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce

3 tablespoons honey

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Sesame seeds (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prep the Cauliflower: Rinse and dry the cauliflower head. Cut it into bite-sized florets and place them in a large mixing bowl.

    Make the Sauce: In a separate bowl, whisk together the olive oil, Sriracha sauce, honey, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

      Coat the Cauliflower: Drizzle the sauce mixture over the cauliflower florets. Toss well until every piece is evenly coated with the spicy honey glaze.

        Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (193°C) for about 5 minutes.

          Air Fry the Cauliflower: Place the coated cauliflower florets in an even layer in the air fryer basket. Ensure there is some space between them for even cooking. You may need to do this in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.

            Cooking Time: Air fry for 12-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through the cooking time to ensure even crispiness. They should be golden brown and crispy.

              Garnish and Serve: Once cooked, remove the cauliflower from the air fryer. Sprinkle with fresh cilantro and sesame seeds for an extra burst of flavor. Serve hot as a side dish or a delicious appetizer!
