Serves: 4-6 servings
Ingredients
  • 2 heads of cauliflower
  • 2 Tbsp. olive oil
  • Salt and pepper
  • Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
  2. Peel away any green leaves, rinse the cauliflower, and trim the stems.
  3. Leave the stems intact.
  4. The goal is to cut steaks from the middle part of the cauliflower. Lay the cauliflower on its side and with one cut, take off the florets to the right of the stem.
  5. Cut the first steak about ½ inch thick by cutting a slice through the florets and stem.
  6. Gently lay the steak on a parchment-covered baking sheet.
  7. Repeat. You should be able to cut one or two more steaks.
  8. Brush each steak with olive oil.
  9. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  10. (Optional) Sprinkle with crushed red pepper flakes.
  11. Roast for 25-30 minutes at 425 degrees F until barely tender.
  12. Then place under them under the broiler (watching constantly) for a minute or two to add some color.
  13. For added flavor, serve with gremolata or pesto.
Notes
Save the extra florets for another cauliflower side dish!
