Keep an eye on the cauliflower towards the end of cooking to avoid burning. +- For extra crispiness, you can cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, but watch carefully. +- Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor. +- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 3-4 minutes to crisp them up again. + +Enjoy your air fryer cauliflower alongside your Lentil & Chickpea Curry and lentil flatbreads for a delicious, well-rounded meal. \ No newline at end of file
