ROASTED CAULIFLOWER STEAKS

The recipe comes to us courtesy of Erin Wysocarski, of Redondo Beach, Calif., a 10-year vegan who has grown accustomed to bringing portable food to holiday gatherings. "Most folks who have never heard the term 'cauliflower steak' give a little chuckle," said Ms. Wysocarski, who writes the Olives for Dinner vegan food blog. "This cauliflower steak tastes good because of the way it's sliced - it gets a little crispy around the edges (especially if you use a cast iron pan) and stays succulent toward the middle." The dish has the added benefit of being portable and easy to reheat.

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 head cauliflower
Kosher salt
Freshly ground pepper
2 leaves sage, finely chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil

Steps:

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Cauliflower: Select a head of cauliflower that is firm, compact, and has no signs of bruising or damage.
  • Slice Carefully: Use a sharp knife to cut the cauliflower into 1-inch thick steaks, ensuring they are all roughly the same size for even cooking.
  • Season Generously: Drizzle the cauliflower steaks with olive oil and sprinkle them with your favorite seasonings, such as salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
  • Roast at High Heat: Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) to ensure the cauliflower steaks get a nice caramelized crust.
  • Flip Once: Flip the cauliflower steaks halfway through roasting to ensure they cook evenly on both sides.
  • Watch for Tenderness: Use a fork or a knife to check if the cauliflower steaks are tender when pierced. They should be slightly firm but not hard.
  • Garnish Before Serving: Add a sprinkle of chopped parsley or cilantro, a drizzle of balsamic glaze, or a squeeze of lemon juice before serving for extra flavor and color.

Conclusion:

Roasted cauliflower steaks are a versatile and delicious dish that can be enjoyed as a main course or as a side.
