Cauliflower Steaks Recipe
This is hands down the most satisfying way to eat cauliflower. Just before these cauliflower steaks are ready to come out of the oven, you cover them in salty parmesan cheese, creamy pine nuts, and lemon juice. You could easily make this as a simple vegetarian main dish or serve it as a side dish with a classic steak.

- ½ teaspoon paprika
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- ½ cup pine nuts

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Cut each head of cauliflower into three steaks.
- Mix the garlic powder, salt, pepper, and paprika in a small bowl.
- Place the cauliflower steaks on the baking sheet, drizzle them with olive oil, and then sprinkle them with the spices
- Roast the steaks for 20 minutes then flip them over and roast them for another 10 minutes. They should be nice and dark brown in many spots.
- Remove the cauliflower from the oven and sprinkle the parmesan cheese, pine nuts, and thyme leaves evenly over each steak. Squeeze half a lemon over the steaks. Put the cauliflower back in the oven for 5 minutes, or until the parmesan has melted and the pine nuts are toasted.
