Here’s a delicious and healthy recipe to prepare roasted cauliflower steaks. Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, these vegetarian steaks are an excellent alternative for a wholesome and flavorful meal. Whether served as a side dish or a main course, this dish will elevate any meal with its vibrant taste and texture.
Ingredients 🛒
- 1 large cauliflower head 🥦
- 2 tablespoons olive oil 🫒
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder 🧄
- 1 teaspoon paprika 🌶️
- Salt and pepper to taste 🧂
- A few sprigs of fresh parsley (optional) 🌿
Instructions 👩🍳
1. Preheat the Oven 🔥
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
2. Prepare the Cauliflower 🥦
- Remove the outer leaves of the cauliflower and trim the base so it sits flat.
- Cut the cauliflower into thick slices, about 2 to 3 cm (1 inch) thick, forming your “steaks.” You should get 3 to 4 steaks from a large cauliflower head, with a few smaller pieces falling off the sides.
3. Season the Cauliflower 🌶️
- In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Using a brush, generously coat both sides of each cauliflower steak with the seasoning mixture.
4. Roast the Steaks 🍲
- Place the seasoned cauliflower steaks on the prepared baking sheet.
- Roast in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping the steaks halfway through so they become golden and crispy on both sides. The cauliflower should be tender in the middle and crispy on the edges.
Finishing Touches ✨
Once the steaks are roasted to perfection, remove them from the oven. If desired, garnish with some freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and added freshness.
Serving Suggestions 🍽️
Serve your roasted cauliflower steaks warm with a variety of sides:
- Yogurt sauce for a refreshing dip.
- A simple green salad for a light and healthy pairing.
- As a main dish with quinoa, couscous, or rice to make it a complete meal.
