Instructions

  • 1Set the oven to Air Fry, Super Convection, 410°F, for 25 minutes and press Start to preheat. Meanwhile, continue to the next step.
  • 2Trim the base of the cauliflower and remove the leaves.
  • 3Bring a pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add the cauliflower and boil for 5 minutes. Drain well.
  • 4Place the cauliflower in the middle of the air fry basket and brush all over with oil. This ensures it crisps evenly. Season with salt and pepper.
  • 5Once preheated, place the basket in rack position 5 and cook for 25 minutes. Meanwhile, make the dressing.
  • 6To make the yogurt dressing, place the yogurt in a bowl and use a microplane to grate the garlic over the yogurt. Add the salt, season with pepper and whisk together. Cover and refrigerate.
  • 7The cauliflower should be well browned. Insert a small sharp knife or skewer right through to the base, it should slide easily. If not, cook it a little longer.
  • 8To make the almond topping, heat the oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the almonds, stirring for 1 minute, until golden. Add the currants and capers, stirring for 1 minute, until the currants swell and the capers are lightly fried. Remove from the heat and add the parsley.
  • 9Serve the cauliflower topped with the yogurt dressing and spoon over the almond topping.
