Packed with flavor and health benefits, these Oven Roasted Cauliflower Steaks are nutritious, as well as delicious. Cauliflower provides vitamins C and K, while turmeric and cumin offer anti-inflammatory and digestive support. Smoked paprika adds rich flavor, and garlic boosts heart health and immunity. Oven roasted to golden perfection, they make a wholesome, plant-based main or side dish that’s as nourishing as it is delicious.
Ingredients (organic/biodynamic):
- 1 large head of cauliflower, cut into 1-inch slices
- 1 tsp. ground turmeric
- ½ tsp. ground cumin
- ½ tsp. smoked paprika
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- ½ tsp. Celtic Sea salt®
- ½ tsp. of freshly ground black pepper
- 3 Tbsp. water
- 2 Tbsp. chopped parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
- Slice the cauliflower heads into 1-inch-thick pieces, and place onto the baking sheet. You should have 3-4 full slices from each cauliflower head. The ends can be saved for another recipe or added to the sheet pan and roasted too.
- In a small bowl mix the turmeric, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic, salt and pepper with 3 tablespoons of water. Brush the cauliflower steaks with spice mixture on both sides.
- Bake cauliflower steaks in the oven for 10 minutes on each side, or until tender and slightly browned. Can be broiled for an additional 2-3 minutes if more color is desired.
- Remove from oven and serve. Garnish with parsley if desired.
