🔥 Instructions — Ready in 15 Minutes

1. Prep the cauliflower

Cut cauliflower into small, even florets. Dry well — this helps them crisp up beautifully.

2. Season to perfection

Toss florets with olive oil, Parmesan, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, salt & pepper.

3. Air fry until irresistibly crispy

Place in a single layer in your air fryer.
Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 12–15 minutes, shaking halfway.
Cook until edges are golden and crunchy.

4. Mix the dip

Stir mayo, sweet chili sauce, hot sauce, and lemon juice until creamy.

5. Serve & devour

Garnish with parsley.
Dip generously.
Try not to eat the whole batch at once. 😉
