One of my New Year’s resolutions is using my Ninja Foodie that I bought more than a year ago. It has been sitting in my gadget shelf neglected since the day I bought it. Bear with me while I experiment and figure out how the machine works and how to use this machine to make some delicious food. I will have a separate category of recipes under Ninja Foodi as I create the recipes. Today’s recipe is Gobi (Whole Roasted Cauliflower) cooked in the Ninja Foodie. First the entire head of cauliflower is steamed. Then it is slathered with some Indian masala and put in air crisp mode. This is cooked till the masala starts to caramelize and slightly char. Also, the bonus, your house smells amazing when these spices start cooking @sarchakra
