2 Instructions

1

Season the cauliflower

In a large bowl, whisk together harissa paste, olive oil, cumin, turmeric, salt, and pepper. Add cauliflower florets and toss until well coated.

2

Air fry

Preheat air fryer to 190°C (375°F). Place florets in the basket in a single layer. Cook for 12-15 minutes, shaking halfway, until tender and charred at the edges.

3

Finish and serve

Transfer to a serving dish, squeeze lemon juice over the top, garnish with cilantro, and drizzle with yoghurt.

Pro Tips

  • Cut florets into similar sizes for even cooking.
  • Do not overcrowd the basket. Cook in batches to ensure the cauliflower roasts rather than steams.
