Ingredients
1large head of cauliflower with the big stem removed
1/2cupof water or stock
1tbschili powder
1tbspaprika
1/2tbscumin
1/2tbscayenne*
1tbsonion powder
4clovesof pressed garlic
1tspsalt**
1tspblack pepper**
3/4cof your favorite barbecue sauce
Instructions
Put the cauliflower onto the trivet and put the trivet into the inner liner of the Pot. Then pour water or stock into the inner liner of the Instant Pot. Season the cauliflower well with the spices and garlic. The cauliflower shouldn’t be directly in the liquid. Now secure the lid on the pot and make sure the valve is set to sealing. Then pressure cook on high for 4 minutes. Once the Pot beeps, let the pressure naturally release for 10 minutes and then turn the valve to open so you can quick release the pressure.
When the pressure has released, open the lid of the Pot and carefully remove the cauliflower. Drain the liquid in the pot. Pull apart the cauliflower into small florets on a plate and toss it into the pot and stir with bbq sauce.
At this point, either serve as is or turn the Pot on saute mode and cook the liquid down slightly prior to serving OR
For best results and some barbecue caramelization, spread the cauliflower out onto a sheet pan lined with aluminum foil and sprayed with nonstick spray. Broil for 2 to 3 minutes or until the edges of the cauliflower begin to char slightly.
Serve immediately in sandwiches, salads, taco, on pizza…

Notes
