Equipment

  • Oven
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Cutting board
  • Knife
  • Small mixing bowl
  • Pastry brush

Ingredients

  • 1 large head cauliflower approx. 2 pounds or 900 grams
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil 30 ml
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika 2 grams
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder 1 gram
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder 1 gram
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin 1 gram
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt 1 gram
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper 0.5 grams
  • Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Remove the leaves and trim the stem of the cauliflower, making sure the head stays intact.
  • Place the cauliflower on a cutting board, stem side down, and slice into 1-inch thick steaks. You should get about 4 steaks from one head of cauliflower.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, ground cumin, sea salt, and black pepper to create a spice rub.
  • Brush both sides of each cauliflower steak with the spice mixture, ensuring they are well coated.
  • Arrange the seasoned cauliflower steaks on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
  • Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender and the edges are golden brown.
  • Remove from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.

Notes

If the cauliflower steaks break apart, don't worry! They will still roast up nicely and be just as delicious.
For an extra kick, you can add a pinch of chili powder to the spice mix.
These cauliflower steaks can be served as a main dish or as a side with your favorite protein.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven until warmed through for best texture.
