What We Love About This Recipe

  1. This method is almost too simple, but it leads to delicious results! If you’re typically “not a cauliflower fan”, I beg you, give this roasted cauliflower steak recipe a try. It may very well change your mind!
  2. The 5-spice blend of sea salt, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and chili powder adds SO MUCH incredible flavor! You’re welcome to mix up the spices however you’d like, too. We love a versatile dish!

Chef’s Tips

  • We really love the smoky, spicy flavor of smoked paprika, but you can use regular paprika if you’d like.
  • You can either save your extra pieces of cauliflower for a later recipe, make additional steaks if they are big enough, or roast them with your steaks and save them for a snack.
  • We love these steaks with a side of ranch or even chimichurri.

Instructions 

  • Preheat oven to 450º Fahrenheit. Place 1 medium head cauliflower on cutting board.
