Ingredients
- 1 head of cauliflower about 3 lbs
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
Instructions
- In small bowl whisk together the olive oil, garlic, parsley, paprika, onion powder, crushed red pepper, salt and black pepper.
- Remove the leaves and trim the stem end of the cauliflower. Leave the core intact. Place the cauliflower stem side down on a sturdy cutting board. Cut 1/2 inch wide sections.
- Brush both sides of the steak with the olive oil mixture and place on a well seasoned baking sheet. Bake at 400 degrees for 20-25 minutes flipping the steaks halfway through the baking process.
Notes
- These steaks are easy to cook on the grill. About 5 minutes per side over medium heat (about 350 degrees). If grilling the steaks cut them 3/4 inch thick.
- Always start with a good fresh firm head of cauliflower. Make sure it is free of any brown spots which indicate spoilage.
- Cut the steaks anywhere from 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick. Thicker steaks will require a little more cooking time.
- Brush any little bits of cauliflower that fall off when cutting the steaks with the olive oil mixture and roast them as well.
