Cheesy Cauliflower Steaks are a delicious and hearty vegetarian dish featuring thick slices of cauliflower roasted to perfection and topped with melted cheese. This savory recipe makes a great main or side dish, combining tender roasted cauliflower with a golden, bubbly cheese crust for a satisfying, flavorful meal.

Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 1 large head of cauliflower

Cheese

  • 1 cup shredded cheese (such as mozzarella, cheddar, or a blend)

Oils & Seasonings

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare Cauliflower Steaks: Remove the leaves and trim the stem of the cauliflower, keeping the core intact to hold the slices together. Slice the cauliflower vertically into approximately 3/4-inch thick steaks carefully.
  2. Roast Cauliflower: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Brush both sides of the cauliflower steaks with olive oil and season with salt and black pepper. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes until golden and tender, flipping halfway through.
  3. Add Cheese Topping: Remove the roasted cauliflower steaks from the oven and sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly on top of each steak.
  4. Bake Until Cheese Melts: Return the cauliflower steaks to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and is bubbly and slightly golden.
  5. Serve: Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and serve warm as a delicious vegetarian main or side dish.

Notes

  • Use firm cauliflower heads for easy slicing and to keep steaks intact.
  • Feel free to experiment with different cheeses like Parmesan, Gruyere, or a spicy pepper jack.
  • You can add herbs like thyme or rosemary for extra flavor before roasting.
  • Serve with a side salad or grain for a complete meal.
  • For a low-fat version, use reduced-fat cheese or less cheese.
