minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 heads of cauliflower, cleaned and dried (You can use different color cauliflower or white cauliflower)

  • 1/3 cup of olive oil

  • 2 teaspoons of salt and freshly cracked pepper

  • 2 teaspoons of steak seasoning (Any Montreal steak seasoning is a great option but use what you like.)

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. 
  • Once the cauliflowers are cleaned, remove the leaves and trim the core slightly. Don’t trim too much because this is what holds it together. 
  • Slice each cauliflower into 1 1/2 – inch pieces. The outside parts may fall apart but try to keep them together. You will end up with 4 slices per head. 
  • Place each cauliflower steak on the parchment paper. Drizzle the oil carefully on both sides. Then sprinkle with salt, pepper and the steak seasoning. 
  • Bake for 40-50 minutes or until they are golden brown. They should hold together, but be tender. The bottom will be more golden than the top but I wouldn’t flip because it can fall apart.
