Dry after washing
Water between the florets generates steam. A salad slinging insert or a clean cloth shortens drying.

Why this recipe works
Golden brown cauliflower with peppers and curry
Cauliflower takes a little longer than broccoli, tolerates strong spices and higher heat. Small roses cook into the drink without drying out at the tips. As a side dish, the basic version is enough; with yoghurt dip and flat bread, it becomes an uncomplicated vegetarian meal.

Kitchen know-how
Tips for Air Fryer Cauliflower

The firm drink takes longer than the flowers. Thin cubes cook at the same time and do not have to be disposed of.

The roses were probably too large or very dense. Cut the thick trunk smaller and if necessary cook for a few minutes at 180 °C.
It also cooks without oil, but gets drier and the spices stick worse. One to two teaspoons suffice for a significantly better surface.
