Ingredients

Scale

Cauliflower Steaks:

2 large heads of cauliflower

4 Tbsp olive oil

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon thyme (fresh or dried)

1/2 teaspoon paprika

1 cup cherry tomatoes (optional) 

Cilantro Sauce:

1/2 cup fresh parsley leaves

1/2 cup cilantro leaves

2 cloves garlic, minced

1/4 teaspoon each- salt + pepper 

2 tbsp lemon juice

1/2 teaspoon lemon zest

1/3 cup olive oil

2-3 tbsp water (if the mixture is too thick)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C).
  2. Then, in a small bowl, mix your seasonings - the garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, paprika, and sea salt. 
  3. Slice your cauliflowers into 3/4 to 1-inch thick steaks and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  4. Rub with olive oil, and evenly coat each steak with the seasonings. 
  5. If you are using the cherry tomatoes, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle on any leftover seasonings, then place them around the cauliflower on the baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, carefully flipping at the halfway point. They should be golden brown and crispy on each side. 
  7. While the cauliflower is roasting, you can make the cilantro sauce.
  8. Put all the sauce ingredients - except the water - in either a food processor or blender. 
  9. Blend on high until the ingredients are well combined. If the mixture is too thick, add 2-3 tablespoons of water, and blend to thin it out. 
  10. After the cauliflower is golden brown and crisped to perfection, take it out of the oven and put on a plate. 
  11. Drizzle with the cilantro sauce, saving the rest for dipping, and garnish with the roasted cherry tomatoes.
