Garlic Parmesan Cauliflower Steaks
Description
This recipe slices cauliflower into half-inch thick 'steaks' that retain structure during cooking. The steaks are coated on both sides with olive oil infused with minced garlic, oregano, thyme, rosemary, and parsley. Seasoned with salt and freshly ground black pepper, the mixture highlights the cauliflower’s mild flavor with herbal notes and a garlic punch.
Roasting at 400°F allows the cauliflower steaks to develop a browned, slightly crisp exterior while maintaining tenderness inside. Halfway through cooking, flipping the steaks ensures even roasting. Sprinkling freshly grated Parmesan cheese on top before serving adds a salty umami finish and subtle richness.
This dish functions well as a vegetarian side or appetizer with a balance of textures and the fragrant flavor of the herb and cheese topping. It requires minimal ingredients and straightforward preparation with no breading or frying.
