Cauliflower steaks are such a fantastic way to enjoy vegetables. When you roast them, the edges get beautifully golden and caramelized while the center stays tender and delicious. It is a simple dish that feels fancy enough for guests but is easy enough for a busy Tuesday night dinner.

I love how versatile these are because you can change up the seasonings to match whatever you are craving. If you want them to hold together well, just make sure to leave a bit of the core on each slice. It acts like a little handle and keeps everything in one piece while it cooks.

Ingredients

  • 2 heads cauliflower
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Fresh chopped parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 500 degrees F and lightly grease a rimmed baking sheet.

  2. 2

    Remove the leaves from the cauliflower and trim the bottom stems. Cut each head in half lengthwise, then slice into one half inch thick steaks.

  3. 3

    Place the cauliflower slices on your prepared baking sheet.

  4. 4

    In a small bowl, mix together the salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and oregano.

  5. 5

    Brush both sides of each cauliflower steak with olive oil and sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over both sides.

  6. 6

    Cover the baking sheet with foil and bake for 5 minutes.

  7. 7

    Remove the foil and roast for 10 minutes, then carefully flip the steaks.

  8. 8

    Roast for another 8 minutes or until they are golden brown and a fork slides easily into the center stem.

  9. 9

    Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

💡 Tips

Store any leftover cauliflower steaks in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. You can reheat them in a hot oven or air fryer to get some of that crispiness back. These are wonderful served alongside a dollop of ranch dressing, buffalo sauce, or a bright chimichurri.
