- 1 large head cauliflower about 2 pounds
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 teaspoons paprika

- 1 cup cilantro fresh, chopped
- 1 lemon quartered
Directions
- Insert the steam rack into the Instant Pot. Add 1 1â„2 cups water.
- Remove the leaves from the cauliflower and trim the core so the cauliflower sits flat. Place on the steam rack.
- In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, paprika, cumin, and salt. Drizzle over the cauliflower and rub to coat.
- 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.
