Air Fryer Cauliflower Steaks with Sigona’s Calabrian Pesto Olive Oil & Parmigiano Reggiano
The air fryer makes life so easy! Making a simple mixture of our Calabrian pesto olive oil and some spices, such as paprika, which adds great color, and brushing it over the cauliflower steaks makes this a quick, healthy and delicious side dish. Serves 2 to 4.
Equipment
- 1 air fryer
Ingredients
- 1 head of cauliflower leaves removed
- 1/4 cup Sigona’s spicy Calabrian pesto olive oil plus more for finishing, if desired (see note)
- 2 Tbsp freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano plus more for finishing
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Whisk together the olive oil, cheese and spices in a medium bowl.
- Slice the head of cauliflower in half from top to bottom. Slice 1” thick steaks from each half. Brush each side and the edges of the steaks with the olive oil mixture.
- Line the basket or tray of an air fryer with foil or parchment paper. Add 2 steaks or as many will fit without touching each other. Air fry at 400°F, flipping once, for about 12 minutes or until the steaks have softened and the edges are a toasty brown.
- Transfer the cooked cauliflower steaks to a serving dish. Sprinkle with parsley and more cheese if desired. Serve with more of the spicy Calabrian pesto olive oil, if desired.
