Recipe: Roasted Cauliflower Steaks (With Warm Lentil Salad)

INGREDIENTS

• large head of cauliflower
• 2 tablespoons avocado oil
• ¼ teaspoon sea salt
• Freshly ground black pepper
   

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F with the oven rack on the top third of the oven.
2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
3. Trim green leaves and the base of the cauliflower to create a flat surface.
4. Place cauliflower, cut side down, and use a sharp chef’s knife, carefully cut cauliflower into 1” thick slices.
5. The outer edges will likely break into florets – that’s ok!
6. Brush both sides of the cauliflower steaks with oil and season with salt and pepper.
7. Roast in the oven for about 30 minutes – or until the top of the cauliflower steaks are golden brown around the edges, and the undersides are nicely browned.

YIELDS

• 3-4 Steaks

TIPS:

• Enjoy with Warm Lentil Salad on the side

• You can reserve any broken florets for another use OR brush them with oil and season with salt and pepper, and roast alongside the steaks.
