Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 large head of cauliflower
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Seasoning Mix:
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
For Serving:
- Chopped fresh parsley
- Lemon wedges
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare the Cauliflower: Remove the leaves and trim the stem of the cauliflower, keeping the core intact. Slice the cauliflower into ¾-inch thick ‘steaks’—you should get 2 to 3 full steaks from the center. Save remaining florets for another use.
- Season and Roast: In a small bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Brush both sides of the cauliflower steaks with the seasoned oil and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Roast for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and tender.
- Serve: Serve warm, garnished with chopped parsley and lemon wedges.
Notes
- For a spicier version, add a pinch of cayenne to the seasoning mix.
- These can also be grilled for extra char and smoky flavor.
- Serve with tahini sauce or chimichurri for a flavor boost.
