About this Crispy Air fryer Cauliflower Steaks
Cauliflower is one of our favourite vegetables. Whether it is turned into roasted whole cauliflower, cauliflower fried rice or cauliflower flatbread, made into buffalo wings or tossed in a Aloo Gobi curry with potatoes, I love how versatile it is.
And now this Crispy Air Fryer Cauliflower Steak is our new favourite!
Air-fryer is such an amazing gadget that I’d like to pop everything and anything into it to cook quickly and make it crispy on the outside, while it is tender & flavoursome inside.
No AIR FRYER - NO PROBLEM! MAKE ROASTED CAULIFLOWER STEAK IN THE OVEN!
Air fryer is my favourite way to get small portions of vegetables crispy. However for making super large servings, you can bake them too.
Either ways they are delicious and you can't stop with just one portion of the vegan cauliflower steak.
Simply follow the method in my Cajun Cauliflower Steaks recipe to make it in the oven. Plus I have listed out 5 additional flavours to marinade the cauliflower to make delicious steaks.
What is Cauliflower Steaks?
Cauliflower Steak is simply a Cauliflower head that is sliced into thick slabs instead of florets. You can make roasted cauliflower steak or grilled cauliflower steak or even crispy steaks.
WHAT TO SERVE WITH CRISPY CAULIFLOWER STEAKS?
You can serve this crispy cauliflower with quick spicy coriander chutney. They are delicious as a hearty side to a vegan korma too! The flavors are fabulous together and make a delicious addition to the festive spread like Easter, Thanksgiving, or Christmas too!

Jacque H. says
I love all things cauliflower! I have never thought to make cauliflower steaks in the air fryer. I will have to give them a try later today.
Sandhya's Kitchen says
Absolutely .. Let me know when you try our homemade cauliflower steak. They may sound fancy (like in the restaurant-style ) but the recipe is really simple.
Angelia says
I tried them tonight. I'm not sure if it came out right. They still seem raw texture wuse. Is thus right?
Sandhya's Kitchen says
They shouldn't taste raw. As every Air fryer will vary in its cooking time, you may have to cook a little longer next time.
Use the Provided time in the recipe as a guide and accordingly adjust.
Valerie says
