Description

Instant Pot® Cauliflower (Whole Cooked) – How to cook a whole head of cauliflower in a matter of minutes in your Instant Pot.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 head of cauliflower (leaves and stem removed)
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • kosher salt & ground black pepper
  • 1 cup water

Instructions

  1. Prep cauliflower: Cut off the bottom leaves and stem of your cauliflower so the bottom is flat. Rub with olive oil and sprinkle with kosher salt and pepper (or whatever seasonings you want!)
  2. Instant Pot: Add 1 cup water to your 6 qt. Instant Pot® and place the metal trivet inside. Place the head of cauliflower on top of the trivet. Cook on manual, High Pressure for 2 minutes. Manually release pressure according to manufacturer’s instructions.
  3. Brown cauliflower (optional): Finish under broiler, if desired, for 5 minute increments until you have reached your desired browning.
  4. Cut and serve any way you want!

Notes

  • Instant Pot: Remember to always account for the time required for the Instant Pot to come to pressure – the cook time listed does not account for this.
