Cauliflower And Prosciutto Pierogi

Servings:4
Cooking Time: 20 Minutes

Ingredients:

1 cup chopped cauliflower
2 tablespoons diced onions
1 tablespoon unsalted butter (or lard or bacon fat for dairy-free), melted
pinch of fine sea salt
½ cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese (about 2 ounces / 57 g) (or Kite Hill brand cream cheese style
spread, softened, for dairy-free)
8 slices prosciutto
Fresh oregano leaves, for garnish (optional)

Directions:

1. Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (180ºC). Lightly grease a 7-inch pie pan or a casserole dish that will fit in
your air fryer.

2. Make the filling: Place the cauliflower and onion in the pan. Drizzle with the melted butter and sprinkle with the salt. Using your hands, mix everything together, making sure the cauliflower is coated in the butter.

3. Place the cauliflower mixture in the air fryer and cook for 10 minutes, until fork-tender, stirring halfway through.

4. Transfer the cauliflower mixture to a food processor or high-powered blender. Spray the air fryer basket with avocado oil and increase the air fryer temperature to 400°F (205ºC).

5. Pulse the cauliflower mixture in the food processor until smooth. Stir in the cheese.

6. Assemble the pierogi: Lay 1 slice of prosciutto on a sheet of parchment paper with a short end toward you. Lay another slice of prosciutto on top of it at a right angle, forming a cross. Spoon about 2 heaping
tablespoons of the filling into the center of the cross.

7. Fold each arm of the prosciutto cross over the filling to form a square, making sure that the filling is well covered. Using your fingers, press down around the filling to even out the square shape. Repeat with the rest of the prosciutto and filling.

8. Spray the pierogi with avocado oil and place them in the air fryer basket. Cook for 10 minutes, or until
crispy.

9. Garnish with oregano before serving, if desired. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in a preheated 400°F (205ºC) air fryer for 3 minutes, or until heated through.

Bloomin’ Onion

Servings:8
Cooking Time: 35 Minutes

Ingredients:

1 extra-large onion (about 3 inches in diameter)
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon water
½ cup powdered Parmesan cheese (about 1½ ounces; see here) (or pork dust for dairy-free; see here)
2 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

FOR GARNISH (OPTIONAL):
Fresh parsley leaves
Powdered Parmesan cheese (see here)

FOR SERVING (OPTIONAL):
Prepared yellow mustard
Ranch Dressing (here)
Reduced-sugar or sugar-free ketchup

Directions:

1. Spray the air fryer basket with avocado oil. Preheat the air fryer to 350°F.

2. Using a sharp knife, cut the top ½ inch off the onion and peel off the outer layer. Cut the onion into 8
equal sections, stopping 1 inch from the bottom—you want the onion to stay together at the base. Gently
spread the sections, or “petals,” apart.

3. Crack the eggs into a large bowl, add the water, and whisk well. Place the onion in the dish and coat it
well in the egg. Use a spoon to coat the inside of the onion and all of the petals.

4. In a small bowl, combine the Parmesan, seasonings, salt, and pepper.

5. Place the onion in a 6-inch pie pan or casserole dish. Sprinkle the seasoning mixture all over the onion and use your fingers to press it into the petals. Spray the onion with avocado oil.

6. Loosely cover the onion with parchment paper and then foil. Place the dish in the air fryer. Cook for 30 minutes, then remove it from the air fryer and increase the air fryer temperature to 400°F.

7. Remove the foil and parchment and spray the onion with avocado oil again. Protecting your hands with oven-safe gloves or a tea towel, transfer the onion to the air fryer basket. Cook for an additional 3 to 5 minutes, until light brown and crispy.

8. Garnish with fresh parsley and powdered Parmesan, if desired. Serve with mustard, ranch dressing, and ketchup, if desired.

9. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in a preheated 400°F air fryer for 3 to 5 minutes, until warm and crispy.
