Notes

  • For a vegan option, use vegan parmesan or nutritional yeast.
  • If using frozen cauliflower, ensure it is thawed and dried before roasting.
  • To air-fry, cook at 375°F (190°C) for 15 minutes, adding parmesan in the last few minutes.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer for crunchiness.
  • Freeze leftovers in a sealed container for up to 2 months. Reheat from frozen when ready to eat.
