Roasted Cauliflower with Black Beluga Lentils (No Added Fat)

I have enjoyed making roasted cauliflower as I first described this past January. I thought I'd make a cauliflower and lentil dish. I roasted half a head of cauliflower florets, tossed with 4 cloves of garlic and coconut aminos (soy sauce would have been fine, too) for 15 minutes with convection bake in my air fryer at 400°F. I removed the cauliflower and, after letting it cool for a few minutes, coarsely chopped the garlic into maybe 1/4" pieces.

While the cauliflower was cooking, I simmered black beluga lentils in a combination of vegetable broth and water for 20m. When the lentils were done, I mixed in the cauliflower and garlic.

Dinner was good! We all enjoyed the combination for the main course.

Ideas for the future

Cauliflower is good raw, but is especially good roasted. I should make roasted cauliflower more often - it's so easy!

Air Fried, Waterless Green Beans and Seitan

I put, in this order, a little onion and garlic, frozen green beans, and seitan into a large Saladmaster stock pan. I cooked waterlessly - i.e., I covered the pan and heated it on medium high until the vapor release started jiggling, then I reduced the heat to low till the jiggle stopped. I let it cook for about 10 minutes.

Then, I mixed in bread crumbs, nutritional yeast, and lemon pepper. I put it in my Cuisinart air fryer and "fried" (with no oil) at 350°F for 5 minutes.

In my Instant Pot cooker, I also cooked acorn squash and Japanese sweet potato (13 minutes under pressure). I served the main course, along with the squash and sweet potato, plus some tomato slices.
