Ingredients
 
 

  • 1 pound romanesco
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or avocado oil
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions
 

  • Prep the romanesco by removing any outer leaves. Then wash the romanesco. Cut the romanesco in half from the top down and use angled cuts to remove the core (as you would with cauliflower). Break or cut the remaining parts into medium-sized florets.
  • Add the romanesco florets to a mixing bowl. Drizzle with the oil and seasonings.
  • Add a tablespoon or two of water under the air fryer basket. Then add the romanesco to the air fryer basket. (No need to preheat).
  • Cook at 400F (200C) for 12 to 14 minutes, or until the romanesco is tender inside and crispy on the edges

Notes

  • I like to use an air fryer liner for easy cleanup, but it's optional.
