Instructions
 

Air Fryer Method:

  • Start by washing and chopping your cauliflower into bite-sized florets and slicing the carrots into even sticks. The more evenly cut they are, the better they’ll cook!
  • Toss the cauliflower and carrots in a large bowl with olive oil, garlic powder, oregano, red chili flakes, salt, and pepper. Mix it all up until every piece is perfectly coated with those savory spices.
  • Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 5 minutes.
  • Add the cauliflower and carrots to the air fryer basket in a single layer (you might need to do this in batches depending on the size of your air fryer).
  • Air fry for 15-18 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even roasting. You’ll know it’s done when they’re golden brown and crispy on the edges!
  • Once the veggies are roasted to crispy perfection, pull them out and garnish with chopped coriander if you like and serve it as a side or a snack.

Oven Method:

  • If you don’t have an air fryer, no problem! Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Spread the seasoned cauliflower and carrots in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they’re crispy and golden. Easy and tasty!

Notes

  • Spice it up: Love heat? Sprinkle in some paprika or cayenne pepper to spice things up!
  • Give it a protein punch: Make it a full meal by adding some sautéed tofu, tempeh, or chickpeas for extra protein.
  • Add more veggies: Feel free to toss in other veggies like sweet potatoes, brussels sprouts, or bell peppers for even more flavor and variety!
 
How to store:
In the Fridge: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
In the Freezer: If you’ve got extra, you can freeze them for up to 2 months. Just be aware that the texture may change slightly after freezing and thawing.
Meal Prep Tip: You can easily store them in the fridge for 4 days by pre-roasting carrots and cauliflower ahead of time. After that, you can quickly reheat them in the air fryer for 3-5 minutes at 375°F (190°C) to restore that crispy texture.
Reheat: Gently reheat in the air fryer or on the stovetop. You can add a bit of olive oil to refresh them if needed.
