FAQs

Can I use regular oven roasting instead of air-frying?

Yes, you can roast the cauliflower steaks on a baking sheet at 230 degrees C (445 degrees F) for about 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through for even cooking.

How thick should I slice the cauliflower steaks?

Slice cauliflower into steaks about 1 to 1.5 centimeters thick to ensure they hold together during cooking and become tender inside.
