Actifry Cauliflower Cheese

by hintofhelen

This Actifry cauliflower cheese recipe will most likely be the easiest version of the dish you’ll make!

It’s super cheesy, delicious and tasty – and takes under half an hour! I always opt for frozen cauliflower florets cause they’re easy and pre-chopped, but if you want to use a whole fresh cauliflower just reduce the cooking time by 5 minutes.

The Actifry gives the cauliflower a lovely charred edge which makes all the difference to the flavour. Even when I don’t smother it in cheese sauce, the Actifry is my cooking method of choice for cauliflower.

The sauce may not look like a sauce before you add it into the Actifry – but the heat and rotation of the paddle and pan do all the hard work for you!

I’m looking forward to making this but your timings contradict – is the 2nd cooking 5 minutes or 15-20 minutes, please?

Hi Sheila! Thanks so much for pointing this out! I have been testing the recipe for a couple of weeks and trialled a few versions – somehow it published a half and half one! I’ve updated it, the easiest way is to cook the cauli for 15-20 minutes, then add the cheese sauce for 5. Hope you enjoy!
