Instructions
Making a Cauliflower Head in a Pressure Cooker
- Add one cup of water in the inner Ceramic bowl of the pressure cooker.
- Add Air Crisp Basket inside Ceramic Pot.
- Place whole Cauliflower into Air Crisp Basket.
- Add Pressure Cooker lid to Ninja Foodi.
- Seal VENT closed.
- Pressure Cook Cauliflower on LOW for 3 minutes. The pressure cooker will cook the cauliflower as it builds pressure, which is why the timing is so low.
- Once completed, QUICK RELEASE the vent (carefully).
- When pressure is gone, open lid.
- Remove air crisp basket (use gloves) and dump out excess water (carefully!) from inner pot.
Air Fryer Cauliflower - This is the second step!
- Spritz or baste olive oil on head of cauliflower.
- Add any seasoning you like - I prefer garlic salt, Everything Bagel, or Lawry'sseasoning salt.
- Finish roasting cauliflower by Air Frying (Air Crisp with Ninja Foodi) on 400 degrees for 10 minutes, until top is slightly golden brown and flavored.
- Remove Cauliflower head with tongs and carefully slice or enjoy as is. Should be fork tender!
