This recipe turns humble cauliflower into a star main dish. Thick slices are brushed with olive oil, seasoned, and roasted until golden and tender.

The herb sauce, made with mint, parsley, nuts, and a hint of spice, adds a burst of flavor. It's a light, vegan, and dairy-free meal that's perfect for any day of the week.

Method

Preheat the oven to 400°F (fan-forced) and line a medium shallow baking tray with parchment paper.
Brush the cauliflower steaks thoroughly with all the olive oil and season with salt and pepper on both sides.
Arrange them on the tray and roast for about 15 minutes, until they start to brown.
Flip them over and continue roasting for another 8-10 minutes, until tender.
Meanwhile, in a bowl, combine all the sauce ingredients and season with salt and pepper.
Divide the cauliflower among plates and drizzle with the herb sauce.
Serve the roasted cauliflower steaks with a fluffy pilaf with toasted hazelnuts.

💡 Tips

For extra flavor, you can also grill the cauliflower steaks on a barbecue or grill pan.
If you prefer a milder sauce, reduce the amount of red pepper flakes.
The herb sauce can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
