Ingredients

  • 1 large cauliflower
  • 4 tablespoons butter softened
  • 2 large cloves of garlic grated or crushed
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1/2 cup chimichurri sauce storebought or homemade

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a sheet pan with parchment paper. 

Prepare the Cauliflower:

  • Remove the green leaves from the underside of the cauliflower and trim the stem flat.
  • Rinse the cauliflower under cold running water, then dry with paper towels.
  • Place the cauliflower stem side down on the cutting board and carefully cut 2 sides off so they are flat.
  • Cut the cauliflower in half, then cut each half in half again for a total of 4 thick cauliflower slices
  • Place the cauliflower steaks/slices on the sheet pan.
  • In a small dish combine the softened butter and the grated/crushed garlic together, blending well. 
  • Spread a tablespoon of the garlic butter on both sides of each steak/slice. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Roast the Cauliflower Steaks:

  • Transfer the sheet pan to the oven and roast the cauliflower steaks for 10 minutes, turn the steaks with a spatula and continue to roast for another 15 minutes or until tender when pierced at the stem with a skewer.  
  • Serve each cauliflower steak with a tablespoon or more of chimichurri sauce.

Notes

  • Save the pieces of cauliflower that has been cut off for another purpose.
  • Try to choose cauliflower that has a thick stem down the center. If the stem is skinny then you will only get 2 cauliflower steaks from it.
  • Cauliflower adapts well to a variety of sauces such as our buffalo sauce, tahini sauce, spicy Thai peanut sauce or a creamy cheddar cheese sauce.
