Description
Deliciously crispy baked cauliflower steaks that serve as a flavorful centerpiece for any meal.
Ingredients
- 1 Large Head of Cauliflower
- 3 Tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1 Teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1 Teaspoon Onion Powder
- 1 Teaspoon Smoked Paprika
- 1/2 Teaspoon Dried Oregano
- 1/2 Teaspoon Salt
- 1/4 Teaspoon Black Pepper
- Optional: Red Pepper Flakes for heat
- Optional: Fresh Parsley or Chives for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare your baking sheet.
- Remove the outer leaves from the cauliflower head and trim the bottom of the stem.
- Place the head of cauliflower stem-side down on a cutting board.
- Carefully cut through the center to form two thick “steaks,” around 1 inch thick.
- In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until blended.
- Generously brush both sides of the cauliflower steaks with the seasoning mixture.
- Lay the steaks on the baking sheet and pour any remaining seasoning mixture over them.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden and tender-crisp.
- For extra crispiness, broil the steaks for an additional 2-3 minutes, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
Notes
For best results, select a large, firm cauliflower and ensure even slicing. Garnish with fresh herbs before serving.
