An air fryer is an ideal automobile for charred cauliflower steaks, and charring is an enormous factor in world delicacies proper now. They’re flavoured with lemon and garlic and prepared in quarter-hour.
One factor about air fryers wants demystifying: that each one you do is give no matter you’re cooking in it a few spurts of cooking spray. This isn’t true. There’s no cause to not coat an ingredient similar to cauliflower steaks completely in olive oil, which suggests brushing the oil on them, which supplies them extra of a coating than a mere spray.
So, a basting brush must be part of your air fryer arsenal. You may as well brush melted butter on issues, which is what I did this weekend with an air fryer roast hen. Hold studying TGIFood this week for that recipe…
(Serves 2)
Substances
2 cauliflower steaks, about 2 cm thick
3 Tbsp olive oil
Zest of 1 small lemon (or ½ a big one)
Garlic salt to style
Black pepper to style
Technique
Slice the cauliflower by the thickest half into steaks, leaving the core intact, because it helps to carry the florets collectively. Trim away the leaves.
Combine the lemon zest and olive oil along with a number of grindings of garlic salt and black pepper. Brush on either side of the cauliflower steaks.
Preheat the air fryer at 200℃ for five minutes. Spray the bottom of the air fryer pan with olive oil spray. Place the steaks in and set the fryer at 200℃ for 8 minutes. Take away, flip them over, and cook dinner for one more 7 minutes on the similar temperature. DM/TGIFood
