Ingredients
Scale
Cheesy Cauliflower Steaks:
- 1 large head of cauliflower
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Chopped parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare the cauliflower: Remove the leaves from the cauliflower and trim the stem, keeping the core intact. Slice the cauliflower into 3/4-inch thick ‘steaks’.
- Season and roast: Place the cauliflower steaks on the baking sheet, brush with olive oil, season with garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Roast for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Add cheese: Top each steak with mozzarella and Parmesan cheese, then return to the oven for additional melting.
- Finish and serve: Garnish with parsley if desired and serve warm.
Notes
- Smaller cauliflower pieces can be roasted alongside the steaks.
- Try red pepper flakes for heat or sharp cheddar for a bolder flavor.
