You can roast these along with the steaks or save them to use in other recipes.)
- Mix minced garlic with the olive oil in a small bowl. 4 tablespoons olive oil, 4 cloves garlic
- Arrange the cauliflower slices on a baking sheet and brush generously on both sides with the olive oil garlic mixture. Season with salt and pepper and sprinkle with crushed red pepper. ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper, Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Bake for 12 minutes.
- After 12 minutes carefully flip the cauliflower steaks over and brush with more garlic oil. Sprinkle grated parmesan cheese over the steaks. ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Return to the oven for 15-20 minutes, until the cheese is golden and the edges of the cauliflower are brown.
Notes
- These cauliflower steaks are great as a side dish or served with steamed green veggies or a crisp green salad.
- Other seasoning ideas are fresh basil, fresh parsley or a squirt of fresh lemon juice.
