Instructions
  1. Insert the steam rack into the Instant Pot. Add 1 1⁄2 cups water
  2. Remove the leaves from the cauliflower and trim the core so the cauliflower sits flat. Place on the steam rack.
  3. In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, paprika, cumin, and salt. Drizzle over the cauliflower and rub to coat.
  4. Lock the lid. Press [Manual] and cook on high pressure for 4 minutes. Use the “Quick Release” method to vent the steam, then open the lid.
  5. Lift the cauliflower onto a cutting board and slice into 1-inch-thick steaks. Divide among plates and sprinkle with the cilantro.
  6. Serve with the lemon quarters. Enjoy!

    This is delicious! I made it exactly as stated (with the exception of smoked paprika instead of regular paprika) and it turned out great! So easy! I will definitely make this again!

    It was way too mushy. Any tips on how to avoid that? I have an 8 quart and wondering if I am able to reduce the water to a cup though it won’t cover the entire bottom. Or what about using low pressure? Thanks!

    Drizzle? 2 tbl spoons EVOO and the rest of ingrediants don’t drizzle. Rub may chance but drizzle not happening. LOL! Cooked 5 min to keep somewhay al dente and that worked. Seasoning….meh. But learning how to cook from you people and comments priceless! Press On friends!

    The recipes states to combine the spices with oil. That mixture may be thick but still can be “drizzled” over.
