Irresistibly Crispy Baked Cauliflower Steaks That You Need to Try

Learn how to make delicious Crispy Baked Cauliflower Steaks. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Let’s keep it simple and straightforward, just as I like it. Here’s what you’ll need:

  • 1 large head of cauliflower
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

If you’re out of smoked paprika, regular paprika works just fine. And if you’re feeling adventurous, a sprinkle of parmesan before serving can add an extra layer of flavor.

Instructions

Now, let’s get cooking! Here’s how you turn that humble cauliflower into a star dish:

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Remove the leaves and trim the stem of the cauliflower, but keep the core intact. Slice the cauliflower into 1-inch thick steaks.
  3. In a small bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, and lemon juice.
  4. Brush the mixture generously over both sides of the cauliflower steaks.
  5. Place the steaks on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they’re spaced evenly.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the edges are golden brown and crispy.
  7. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve hot.

My tip? Don’t overcrowd the baking sheet; it ensures each slice bakes evenly and crisps up beautifully.
