Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 230 degrees Celsius (445 degrees Fahrenheit) on the air-fry setting to prepare for cooking the cauliflower steaks.
- Prepare the marinade: Mix the juice of 1 lemon with 25 milliliters of olive oil to create a bright, flavorful mixture that will coat the cauliflower steaks.

- Arrange for cooking: Place the seasoned cauliflower steaks in a single layer on the air-fry tray to allow even cooking and proper air circulation.
