Unique Roasted Cauliflower Steak Recipe

Today’s Unique Dish: Roasted Cauliflower Steak with Chimichurri Sauce

As the weather begins to cool down and fall is in full swing, I find myself craving warm, hearty dishes that still offer a burst of freshness and flavor. That’s why I’m excited to share my latest creation with you all — Roasted Cauliflower Steak with Chimichurri Sauce. This dish combines the heartiness of roasted cauliflower with the zesty flavors of a chimichurri sauce, creating a unique and satisfying meal that’s perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients:

• large cauliflower head (800g)
• olive oil (60ml)
• smoked paprika
• garlic powder
• salt
• black pepper
• fresh parsley (15g)
• fresh cilantro (10g)
• garlic
• red wine vinegar (60ml)
• olive oil (120ml)
• red pepper flakes

Kitchen Tools:

• baking sheet
• chef’s knife
• cutting board
• blender

To start, preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Remove the leaves from the cauliflower head and trim the stem slightly so the cauliflower sits flat on the cutting board. Carefully slice the cauliflower into 1-inch thick “steaks,” leaving the core intact to hold the steaks together. Place the cauliflower steaks on a baking sheet.

In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Brush this mixture onto both sides of the cauliflower steaks, ensuring they are evenly coated. Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender and golden brown.

While the cauliflower is roasting, prepare the chimichurri sauce. In a blender, combine the parsley, cilantro, garlic, red wine vinegar, olive oil, and red pepper flakes. Blend until smooth, adding more olive oil if needed to reach your desired consistency.

Once the cauliflower steaks are done, transfer them to a plate and drizzle generously with the chimichurri sauce. Serve hot and enjoy the vibrant flavors!
