    Air fryer cauliflower steak is a great side dish. It is perfect low carb recipe. I even enjoy pairing this cauliflower recipe with a simple dal fry and basmati rice when I am too lazy to chop the veggies. It is good to balance jacket potatoes along with your soup. Quite filling too.

    Cauliflowers are versatile and gives us great recipes to make for starters and main course. You can just blanch them with hot water before you cook .If you love your florets, you will incorporate it in various dishes. Whether you like to go in for Keto diet or want a vegan one. It is perfect to make gluten-free pizzas or make an easy cauliflower rice. You can enjoy a nice air fryer gobi Manchurian as a starter if you are in mood for an Indian snack. Serve gobi aloo masala or air fry whole cauliflower for lunch. Add some florets to make a mixed veg korma curry for lunch. You can have a light cauliflower rice if gluten free. If vegan, finish an easy dinner with gobi paratha. Mediterranean style salad is perfect if you want something light for brunch.
