Garlic Roasted Cauliflower Steaks

No ratings yet
My Garlic Roasted Cauliflower Steaks transforms a humble vegetable into something truly irresistible. Each thick slice is seared and roasted to develop a crispy, charred exterior while maintaining a tender, almost buttery inside. Infused with smoky, nutty notes and kissed with garlic, these hearty steaks offer a satisfying bite that rivals traditional meat-based dishes.

Equipment

Ingredients
 

  • 1 Large Cauliflower, or 2 Small
  • 3 Tablespoons Italian Seasoning
  • ¼ teaspoon Salt and Pepper
  • 5 Cloves Garlic, minced (approximately 2 1/2 Tablespoons)
  • 3 Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • ¼ cup Parmesan Cheese

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400F.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking sheet. Set aside.
  • Remove all leaves from the cauliflower and slice through the top in 2" thick slices. The outer pieces will
  • fall into small florets, perfect for using in other recipes, while the central 3-4 slices will remain intact and will serve as your "cauliflower steaks."
  • Place the cauliflower slices on your prepared baking sheet.
  • In a small bowl, combine the Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, garlic and olive oil.
  • Use a pastry brush to brush the seasoning mixture over the cauliflower, turn over and coat completely.
  • Bake the cauliflower steaks for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  • Once you are finished baking the cauliflower but they are still warm, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over each

Christina's Notes

  • Don't Overcrowd the Pan: Give the cauliflower steaks space on the baking sheet for even roasting and browning. Use multiple pans if necessary.
  • Toss Well with Garlic and Oil: Ensure the cauliflower steaks are evenly coated with the garlic and oil mixture for maximum flavor.
  • Season Generously: Don't be shy with salt and pepper, as they enhance the natural flavors.
  • Check for Doneness: The cauliflower should be tender when pierced with a fork and have browned edges.
  • Experiment with Roasting Time: The exact roasting time will depend on the thickness of your steaks and your oven. Keep an eye on them and adjust accordingly.
  • Serve Immediately: Roasted cauliflower steaks are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven when they are at their peak texture and flavor.
  • Serve this recipe with: List what to serve with Cilantro Lime Sauce, Marinated Chickpeas and Asian Spicy Cucumber Salad.
