  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings

Ingredients

  • Cauliflower: 1 large head – sliced into thick steaks
  • Olive Oil: 2 tablespoons – for roasting
  • Garlic: 2 cloves – finely minced
  • Lemon: 1 – juice for brightness
  • Fresh Parsley: 1 cup – key ingredient in chimichurri
  • Red Wine Vinegar: 2 tablespoons – for tanginess
  • Oregano: 1 tablespoon – adds depth
  • Chili Flakes: 1/2 teaspoon – for a bit of spice
  • Salt and Pepper: to taste – essential for seasoning

Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Equipment: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a small bowl, mix olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic, and lemon juice.
  3. Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Place a parchment-lined baking sheet on the counter. Slice the cauliflower into thick steaks and arrange them on the sheet. Brush both sides with the olive oil mixture.
  4. Assemble the Dish: Set the cauliflower in the oven and roast for 20-25 minutes until golden and tender.
  5. Cook to Perfection: While the cauliflower is roasting, make the chimichurri. In a blender or food processor, combine parsley, vinegar, chili flakes, oregano, garlic, and olive oil. Blend until smooth.
  6. Finishing Touches: Once the cauliflower steaks are roasted, remove them from the oven and drizzle generously with the chimichurri sauce.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Serve the cauliflower steaks immediately, garnished with extra parsley if desired.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, roast the cauliflower with smoked paprika.
  • Chimichurri can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • For a smokier flavor, try grilling the cauliflower steaks instead of roasting.
