Cauliflower Steak

 I wanted to try something different with the cauliflower in my refrigerator, instead of the usual aloo Gobi subji or cauliflower paratha etc. I had come across an interesting recipe on Instagram last week. I tried it out today, boy was it amazing. It was a nice low carb dish made in the air fryer. I had it with my favorite Mac n Cheese. I was in heaven. Recipe adapted from hungryhappens.net.

Just 5 minutes to prep, and 25 minutes to cook.

Ingredients:

1 head cauliflower

1/4 Cup olive oil

2 Tablespoons parmesan cheese, grated

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon paprika

salt and pepper to taste

1/2 Cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Method:

1. Preheat oven or air fryer to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. In a small bowl, mix oil, grated parmesan, spices, and salt and pepper.

3. Remove the leaves from the bottom of the cauliflower, leaving the stalk in place. Slice the cauliflower in half. Then slice the two pieces in half to create your "steaks". 

          

                                                

4. Place the "steaks" on the parchment paper. Brush the cauliflower all over with the oil mixture.

5. Air fry or bake until the stalk is tender and golden brown, about 15 minutes in air fryer ( flip half way through), 20 minutes in the oven. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese. Place back in the oven until melted.
