Roasted Cauliflower Steaks
- 1 large head cauliflower 1 tblsp olive oil 2 cloves garlic ½ tsp sea salt ¼ tsp pepper
Instructions
Gremolata
- Prep the parsley: Remove the leaves from the parsley — enough to make 1 cup when very loosely packed.
- Chop the parsley: Chop the parsley with a chef's knife or herb cutter until finely chopped. It should be less than 1/2 cup. Add the minced garlic.
- Wash and dry lemons. Using a grater or lemon zester, zest your two lemons on top of the garlic and parsley mixture.
- Finish the chopping: Continue to chop the parsley, mixing in the garlic and lemon as you go, until the parsley is chopped very fine. Stir in salt, pepper and chili flakes.
Roasted Cauliflower Steaks
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a large rimmed baking pan with parchment paper. Remove the outer leaves and trim the stem end. Hold cauliflower with its base on a cutting board. With a sharp knife, make one cut through the center of the cauliflower to divide it in half. Now cut each half into two 3/4-inch thick slices. Save the ends to eat as a snack or serve with salad.
