Oven-Roasted Garlic Cauliflower Recipe
If you aren’t already on the cauliflower train, it’s time to get on. This is an incredibly versatile vegetable and can mimic the flavor and texture of tons of different dishes! You can find my master list here, but some of my all-time favorite recipes are “buffalo wing” cauliflower, cauliflower fritters, and Wisconsin cauliflower soup. I’m super excited to add a new cauliflower recipe to the lineup today! These “steaks” are thick cuts of cauliflower drizzled in olive oil and then coated in garlic, paprika, and parmesan cheese. All you’ve got to do is roast them for 20 minutes in the oven! They turn out warm, tender, and flavorful every time. A tasty side in a pinch! Perfect for you busy moms out there. Cauliflower is great because it has a very mild flavor when cooked. It’s one of the few vegetables that my kids will actually eat! Sometimes I’ll throw it into a casserole or fried rice and they don’t even notice. These cauliflower steaks are no different! My family loves how soft and flavorful they are. I know yours will, too! I even caught my youngest licking her plate after she finished. That’s the sign of a successful dinner in my book! You can’t go wrong with parmesan, garlic, and paprika! The flavor of these cauliflower steaks is absolutely drool-worthy. Let’s make some!

Cauliflower: Our MVP! Because we’re making “steaks” here, you’ll want your cauliflower heads on the larger side.Olive Oil: Used to drizzle across your steaks.

Making Roasted Cauliflower Steaks
This is one of the easiest sides to whip up. It only takes a few minutes but will bring your whole meal together, trust me! The flavor and texture of cauliflower steaks are to die for!
Picking Cauliflower: Look for large, densely-packed heads of cauliflower. Make sure they are a bright white color and free of any blemishes or brown spots!Allow Air to Flow: Don’t overcrowd your pan when roasting your cauliflower. They need plenty of space and airflow to become as tasty and caramelized as possible!Don’t Forget to Flip: Be sure to flip your cauliflower steaks halfway through the baking time. This will make each side tender and perfectly golden brown!Crispy Cauliflower: If you want your cauliflower to have a crispy outer layer, simply toss them in some cornflour before baking!Adding Flavors: While I love the taste that paprika and garlic create, if you want something a little more toned down, these are amazing with a splash of olive oil and Italian seasoning! It’s a fresh, aromatic twist on the recipe. And if you’re wanting a little more heat, try adding a pinch of cayenne!

In the Refrigerator: You can store your leftover cauliflower steaks in an airtight container for up to 5 days.Reheating: Since cauliflower has a high water content, I prefer reheating it in the oven. I have found that reheating it in the microwave can sometimes make it soggy. To reheat, place your cauliflower on a baking sheet in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit until warmed through. Be sure not to let your cauliflower burn, as this makes the veggie quite bitter.
