Air Fryer Caesar Whole Cauliflower
Equipment
- Cutting board
- knife
- Liquid measuring cup
- whisk,
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 4 garlic cloves minced
- 4 oil-packed anchovy fillets drained and finely minced
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 small head cauliflower about 1 pound, green leaves trimmed and stem trimmed flush with the bottom of the head
- 1 tablespoon roughly chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley optional
Instructions
- In a liquid measuring cup, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, parmesan cheese, mustard, minced garlic, minced anchovies, and salt and pepper to taste.
- Place the cauliflower head upside down on a cutting board and use a paring knife to make an “x” through the full length of the core.
- Transfer the cauliflower head to a large bowl and pour half of the prepared dressing over it.
- Turn the cauliflower head to coat it in the dressing, then let it rest, stem-side up, in the dressing for at least 10 minutes and up to 30 minutes to allow the dressing to seep into all its nooks and crannies.
- Preheat the air fryer to 340°F.
- Transfer the cauliflower head, stem-side down, to the air fryer basket and cook for 25 minutes.
- Drizzle the remaining dressing over the cauliflower and increase the air fryer temperature to 400°F.
- Continue cooking until the top of the cauliflower is golden brown and the core is tender, about 5 minutes more.
- Remove the basket from the air fryer and transfer the cauliflower to a large plate.
- Sprinkle with chopped parsley, if desired, and serve hot.
