Ingredients:
- 1 large head of cauliflower
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon chili flakes (optional, for heat)
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for added flavor)
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Prepare the cauliflower: Cut the cauliflower into thick slices, about 1-inch wide, to create “steaks.” Keep the core intact so the slices hold together.
- Season the cauliflower: Place the cauliflower steaks on a baking sheet. Drizzle olive oil over them, then sprinkle garlic powder, paprika, salt, pepper, and chili flakes if using. Toss gently to coat all the pieces evenly.
- Roast the cauliflower: Roast in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the cauliflower is golden and crispy on the edges.
- Add cheese and garnish: If you want to add some extra flavor, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the cauliflower during the last 5 minutes of roasting. Once done, garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
- Serve: Serve hot as a delicious side dish or even as a main for a light, healthy meal.
This roasted cauliflower is perfect for any meal and a great way to enjoy veggies in a whole new way. Enjoy!
