# Ingredients:
→ Main Ingredients
01 -
2 medium cauliflowers (fresh and firm)
02 -
1 tablespoon vegetable oil, any neutral-flavored variety
03 -
1 teaspoon fine sea salt
04 -
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
05 -
2 teaspoons onion powder
→ Cheese Topping
06 -
½ cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated
07 -
½ cup Gruyere cheese or sharp cheddar, finely grated
→ Garnish
08 -
Fresh chives, finely chopped
# Instructions:
01 -
Get your oven nice and hot at 400°F (200°C, or 180°C fan-forced). Line your largest baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 -
Carefully cut 6 thick slices (about ¾ inch each) from your cauliflowers. Don't worry if some pieces fall apart - you can easily arrange them back together on the baking sheet.
03 -
Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese across your lined baking sheet, then arrange the cauliflower slices on top in a single layer.
04 -
Mix together the oil, sea salt, pepper, and onion powder in a small bowl. Brush this flavorful mixture over your cauliflower steaks.
05 -
Pop them in the oven for 20 minutes, until they're tender when pierced with a fork.
06 -
Top each steak with the grated Gruyere (or cheddar) and return to the oven for 10-15 minutes until the cheese turns golden and bubbly.
07 -
Sprinkle with fresh chives and serve while hot and cheesy.
# Notes:
01 -
Save those extra cauliflower pieces! They're perfect for freezing and using later in soups or as a side dish.
02 -
For best results, choose firm cauliflowers - they'll hold together better when sliced.
03 -
Using two cauliflowers gives you better-looking steaks that are less likely to fall apart.
