Roasted Cauliflower Steaks Entree (Print-Friendly Version)

Cauliflower steaks roasted with garlic, paprika, and olive oil make a hearty vegetarian entree.

# What You’ll Need to Make This:

→ Vegetables

01 - 2 heads cauliflower

→ Seasonings

02 - 1 teaspoon kosher salt
03 - 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
04 - 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
05 - 1/2 teaspoon paprika

→ Fat

06 - 60 millilitres olive oil

→ Garnish

07 - 1 teaspoon chopped parsley

# How to Prepare:

01 - Position oven rack in the lower third and preheat oven to 260°C.
02 - Remove outer leaves and trim stems from cauliflower heads. Slice each head lengthwise through the core, then cut 1.5-centimetre thick steaks from each half. Reserve loose florets for another use or roast alongside steaks.
03 - Place cauliflower steaks on a rimmed baking sheet. Arrange pieces in a single layer for even roasting.
04 - In a small bowl, mix together kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika until evenly combined.
05 - Brush both sides of each steak with olive oil. Sprinkle seasoning mixture evenly on both sides of the cauliflower steaks.
06 - Cover baking sheet tightly with foil and roast for 5 minutes.
07 - Remove foil and continue roasting for 10 minutes. Flip steaks carefully, then roast an additional 6 to 8 minutes until golden brown and tender.
08 - Transfer roasted cauliflower steaks to a serving platter and sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving.

# Extra Tips:

01 - Yield varies based on cauliflower head size, typically producing 2 to 4 steaks per head. Florets left from slicing may be roasted alongside.
02 - These cauliflower steaks pair well with sauces such as chimichurri or pesto for added flavour.
