Ingredients
- 2 heads cauliflower
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- ½ teaspoon thyme
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- 4 Tablespoons olive oil
- chopped fresh parsley
- Lemon wedges for garnish
Instructions
- Adjust oven rack to the lower third position. Preheat the oven to 450 F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Remove the outer green leaves from the head of the cauliflower and trim the stem. Using a large knife cut the cauliflower in half lengthwise through the center. Cut a 1 ½-inch thick steak from each half. If the head is large, carefully cut one more steak from each of the cut sides. Repeat the process with the other head of the cauliflower. Trim any florets not connected to the stem. There should be about 4 to 8 pieces total.
- Place cauliflower steaks on the prepared baking sheet. In a small bowl mix together salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Drizzle olive oil on both sides of each cauliflower steak. Evenly sprinkle the seasoning mixture on both sides of the cauliflower steaks.
- Tightly cover the baking sheet with foil and bake for 5 minutes. Remove the foil from the cauliflower and roast for 10 minutes.

Notes
- Cut the steaks fairly thickly. As they roast, they will lose moisture and will shrink in size.
- Slightly trim the stem, don't cut it too short because otherwise, the steaks won't hold together.
- Cut the cauliflower through the stem so that the steaks hold together.
- Bake the cauliflower steaks in foil for the first part of cooking. This will create steam and soften the cauliflower before roasting.
- You can also cook the cauliflower steaks in a cast-iron skillet over medium heat.
