Instructions

Preheat the Oven or Grill:
- If roasting, preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- If grilling, preheat your grill to medium heat.
Prepare the Cauliflower:
Cut each cauliflower head into slices approximately ¾ inch thick. You should be able to get 2-3 full slices from each head. The ends may break into smaller florets; you can roast these on the same sheet pan or save them for another recipe.
Make the Olive Oil Mixture:
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Mix well to create a flavorful seasoning.
Season the Cauliflower Steaks:
Brush the olive oil mixture generously over both sides of the cauliflower steaks to ensure they are well coated.
Cooking Instructions:
- Oven Method:
  - Place the cauliflower steaks on the prepared baking sheet.
  - Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Flip the steaks and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until they are tender and beautifully browned.
- Grill Method:
  - Place the seasoned cauliflower steaks directly on the preheated grill.
  - Close the lid and cook for about 5 minutes. Flip the steaks, cover, and cook for another 4-5 minutes, until they are tender and have grill marks.
Serve:
Remove the cauliflower steaks from the oven or grill. Allow them to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them as a main dish or alongside your favorite protein or grains.
