How to Cut and Core A Whole Cauliflower
- Pull the leaves from the base of the cauliflower to expose the stem.
- Using a knife, cut around the stem of the cauliflower.
- Using your fingers or a knife, break the cauliflower into large florets.
- Remove any large stems, then cut or break the cauliflower into small florets.
- Wash the florets and add to a large container.
Mix and Grill - Pour the jerk marinade from the blender into the container and shake until the florets are well coated.
- Cover the container, refrigerate and let marinate for 15 minutes.
- Spray or coat the bottom of the pot with oil.
- Transfer the cauliflower to the pot and oil the florets and stir evenly
- Saute the cauliflower on medium heat for 6 minutes or until the florets & marinade combines, which ever happens first. Stir and add more oil as needed so the pot and florets do not burn.
- Then, set the airfryer to medium heat and air fry for 10 minutes, stirring half way to ensure all sides of the cauliflower are crispy on the outside.
- Sprinkle thyme or coriander on the cauliflower for garnish.
- Serve hot. Enjoy!
