Storage & Freezing

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven for a few minutes to get them crispy again!

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This will help get those cauliflower steaks nice and crispy.

  2. 2

    Carefully remove the leaves from the cauliflower and trim the stem, but keep it intact to help the steaks hold together.

  3. 3

    Slice the cauliflower into 1-inch thick steaks. You should be able to get about 3-4 good steaks from a standard head.

  4. 4

    In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.

  5. 5

    Brush both sides of each cauliflower steak generously with the herb oil mixture. Make sure each side is well coated.

  6. 6

    Place the steaks on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and tender.

  7. 7

    Once they’re done, drizzle with fresh lemon juice and sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving.

  8. 8

    Serve warm and enjoy the delightful flavors!
