Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 1 small head of cauliflower
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup fresh grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions
 

  • Prepare cauliflower by removing all leaves from cauliflower head. 
    1 small head of cauliflower
  • On a cutting board, using a large chef's knife, slice steaks (1" minimum thick slices) across the head of cauliflower. Depending on size of cauliflower, you will likely get 3-4 steaks plus some leftover florets. 
  • In a small bowl, mix oil, Parmesan cheese, paprika & garlic powder. 
    1/4 cup olive oil, 1/4 cup fresh grated Parmesan cheese, 1/2 tsp smoked paprika, 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • Place steaks in air fryer basket and, using a pastry brush, brush oil mixture all over steaks.
    For easier cleanup, lay a sheet of parchment paper in your air fryer basket
  • Air fry at 400º for 15 min. Cauliflower should be knife tender at this point - poke stem with a paring knife and if it goes in easily - you're good!
    If you have a large head - you might need to add 2-3 minutes. 
  • Open air fryer and add shredded mozzarella cheese to each piece of cauliflower
    1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Air fry an additional 3 minutes until cheese melts and is golden brown
  • Using a small spatula, remove steaks and serve with a squeeze of lemon juice
