- Preheat the Air Fryer:
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for a few minutes.
- Prepare Cauliflower:
- In a large bowl, toss the cauliflower florets with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper until the cauliflower is evenly coated.
- Air Fry Cauliflower:
- Place the seasoned cauliflower in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for about 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, or until the cauliflower is tender and has a golden-brown exterior.
- Prepare Cheese Mixture:
- In a separate bowl, mix together the shredded cheddar cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, mayonnaise, and Dijon mustard.
- Add Cheese Mixture:
- Once the cauliflower is cooked, remove it from the air fryer. Spoon the cheese mixture over the cauliflower evenly.
- Return to Air Fryer:
- Place the cauliflower with the cheese mixture back into the air fryer. Air fry for an additional 5-7 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish and Serve:
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired. Serve the Air Fryer Cauliflower Cheese hot.
- Optional: Broil for Crispiness (if needed):
- If you prefer an extra crispy top, you can transfer the cauliflower to a baking dish and broil in the oven for 2-3 minutes until the cheese is golden and bubbly.
