Step-by-Step Instructions

Preparing the Cauliflower Steaks

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Slice the Cauliflower: Remove the outer leaves from the cauliflower and trim the stem. Slice the cauliflower head into 1-inch thick steaks. You should get about 2-3 steaks from a large cauliflower, with some florets left over.
  3. Season the Steaks: In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried thyme. Brush this mixture generously over both sides of each cauliflower steak.

Roasting the Cauliflower Steaks

  1. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the seasoned cauliflower steaks on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
  2. Roast: Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the cauliflower is tender and golden brown on the edges.
