These roasted cauliflower steaks are crispy and tender and dressed with a luscious, smoky butter. I love how satisfying and healthy they are. Watch the video below to see how I make it in my kitchen.
Preheat the oven to 220C/450F. Line a large baking tray with parchment paper.
Starting from the top, slice the cauliflower into 1- 1 1/2-inch thick slices. Form a criss-cross shape through each 'steak'.
In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and Italian seasoning.
Place the cauliflower steaks on the lined tray and brush both sides of each piece with the melted butter mixture.
Bake the cauliflower steaks for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
Remove the cauliflower from the oven and serve immediately.
