Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large head of cauliflower, washed and dried
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
  • Salt to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan
  • Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
  • Optional: a squeeze of lemon juice for brightness
  • Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Starting with a hot oven ensures your steaks get that perfect caramelized crust.
  • Trim the green leaves from the cauliflower and carefully slice it into ¾-inch thick steaks. Depending on the size, you should get about 2-3 solid slices, with some broken pieces to roast alongside.
  • Lay the steaks on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush both sides generously with olive oil, then sprinkle garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper liberally.
  • Roast the steaks for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through. Aim for golden and slightly crisp edges.
  • Remove the tray and sprinkle shredded cheddar and Parmesan evenly over each steak. Return to the oven for another 5-7 minutes until the cheese bubbles and turns golden brown.
  • Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and a light squeeze of lemon juice. Serve immediately.
