A hearty and elegant vegetarian main course, these cauliflower steaks are roasted to tender perfection and seasoned for maximum flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large head of cauliflower
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste
  • Optional: Chimichurri sauce or tahini drizzle for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Remove the outer leaves from the cauliflower head.
  3. Place the cauliflower stem-side down on a cutting board.
  4. Carefully slice the cauliflower into 1-inch thick “steaks,” starting from the center. You should get 2-3 steaks from one head.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper.
  6. Brush both sides of each cauliflower steak with the spice mixture.
  7. Place the seasoned cauliflower steaks on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  8. Roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the steaks are tender and nicely browned.
  9. Serve hot, topped with chimichurri sauce or tahini drizzle if desired.

Notes

  • If you don’t have a whole head of cauliflower, you can use pre-cut florets, but they won’t form ‘steaks’.
  • Adjust spices to your preference. A pinch of cayenne pepper can add a nice kick.
  • These steaks are also delicious grilled over medium-high heat for about 5-7 minutes per side.
