Air Fryer Cauliflower with Ground Pork

Roasted cauliflower becomes a hearty dinner when topped with seasoned ground pork, juicy tomato, fresh herbs and melted cheese. The air fryer cooks the vegetable first, then brings the whole dish together, creating a cosy meal with very little fuss.

Roasted cauliflower becomes a hearty dinner when topped with seasoned ground pork, juicy tomato, fresh herbs and melted cheese. The air fryer cooks the vegetable first, then brings the whole dish together, creating a cosy meal with very little fuss.

What you'll need.

  • 1 medium cauliflower, cut into small florets
  • 500 g ground pork
  • 1 tomato, diced
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 2 tbsp dill, chopped
  • 2 tbsp parsley, chopped
  • 120 g cheese, grated
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

How to make it.

  1. Toss the cauliflower with olive oil, salt and pepper and spread it in an air-fryer-safe dish.
  2. Air fry at 180°C (350°F) for 7 minutes, until the edges begin to colour.
  3. Mix the ground pork with the diced tomato, green onions, dill, parsley, salt and pepper.
  4. Spoon the pork mixture evenly over the cauliflower and top with the grated cheese.
  5. Air fry at 170°C (340°F) for 15 minutes, until the pork is cooked through and the cheese is golden.

My tips.

Break the ground pork into a thin, even layer so it cooks through at the same pace as the cauliflower. For a lighter variation, use ground turkey or chicken instead.

Good to know.

Can I prepare the dish ahead?
Assemble it several hours in advance, refrigerate it covered, and add a few minutes to the cooking time.

Can I use frozen cauliflower?
Thaw and dry it thoroughly first so the finished dish does not become watery.

What should I serve with it?
A green salad or steamed vegetables are enough, although crusty bread is lovely with the juices.
