Roasted Cauliflower Steaks
Description
This recipe slices a large cauliflower head into 1 ½-inch thick 'steaks,' maintaining the stem to hold the florets intact. The steaks are brushed generously with a mixture of olive oil, fresh lemon juice, paprika, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper, creating a balanced seasoning profile that enhances the cauliflower’s natural flavor.
Roasting at 425°F encourages caramelization for golden, crispy edges while keeping the centers soft. Serving with chimichurri introduces vibrant herbal and acidic notes that complement the earthy spiced cauliflower.
Leftover steaks can be stored chilled for up to 4 days and reheated in the oven for best texture. They tolerate freezing for up to 3 months, though best enjoyed fresh.
Ingredients
- 2 cauliflower large head
- ⅓ cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon cumin
- ¼ teaspoon salt sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- chimichurri for serving
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Slice the cauliflower into 1 ½-inch thickness, making sure to leave the large stem at the bottom intact. You should get about 4-6 “steaks”. Keep the extra florets that fall off for another use.
- In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, paprika, garlic powder, cumin, salt and pepper.
- Place cauliflower slices in a single layer onto the prepared baking sheet. Brush each slice with the olive oil mixture on both sides.
- Roast in the oven until golden brown, about 20-25 minutes, flipping carefully halfway.
- Serve immediately drizzled with Chimichurri sauce, if desired.
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days and reheat in the oven at 350°F for 5 minutes to maintain texture.
- You can freeze leftover cauliflower steaks in a flat freezer bag for up to 3 months; reheat from frozen in the oven at 350°F for 10 minutes.
