Tips:

  • Choose a head of cauliflower that is firm and has tightly packed florets. Avoid heads with brown spots or blemishes.
  • Trim the cauliflower steak to about 1-inch thick. You can use a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer.
  • To make the marinade, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper. You can also add other spices or herbs, such as cumin, paprika, or oregano.
  • Marinate the cauliflower steaks for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight. This will help the cauliflower absorb the flavors of the marinade.
  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Place the cauliflower steaks on the prepared baking sheet and drizzle with any remaining marinade.
  • Roast the cauliflower steaks for 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly browned.
  • Serve the cauliflower steaks immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
