Description

Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large head of cauliflower
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- Optional: lemon juice, fresh herbs, or your favorite dipping sauce
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Remove the leaves from the cauliflower and cut it into ¾-inch thick slices to create ‘steaks’.
- In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
- Brush or drizzle the oil mixture over both sides of the cauliflower steaks.
- Place the steaks on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through.
- Serve hot, topped with lemon juice, fresh herbs, or your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
For extra flavor, try adding spices like cumin or sprinkle with Parmesan cheese halfway through baking. Patting dry the cauliflower before seasoning can help achieve a crispier finish.
