Cauliflower Steaks
Ingredients
- 1 head of cauliflower
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- salt and pepper to taste
- smoked paprika
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 425 F.
- Remove the tough outer leaves of the cauliflower. Cut the base so that it can stand up without moving around. With a sharp knife, carefully cut slices to have ‘steaks’ that are about 1/2 inch thick. Lay them without touching on a baking sheet covered with aluminum foil or parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, whisk the olive oil and lemon juice. Brush each side of the cauliflower slices with a very thin coating of the mixture. Season with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika (or use other spices you like*).
- Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast for 15 to 20 minutes. Turn the slices around, and roast for 10 more minutes, or until the edges start to brown.
- Alternately, cauliflower steaks can be grilled on a gas or charcoal grill with the same results.
Notes
- *cauliflower goes well with many flavors: curry, cumin, chili pepper, coriander… match your meal and your taste buds!
