Being Italian, I love Italian flavors. I love pasta and bread and more pasta. But, my body doesn’t really love those things. Or maybe it loves them too much because pasta and bread will stay with me…forever. This year I’ve made a commitment to work those flavors I love into other meals, like these Italian Roasted Cauliflower Steaks.

Checking all the boxes

With cauliflower being a popular substitute for all things in the grain family, I thought it might be the perfect way for me to get my fix of Italian, carb-like things in a plant-based package. Now I will say we don’t adhere to any specific kind of diet. We aren’t Paleo, Keto, vegetarians or anything else. But if you are, Italian Roasted Cauliflower Steaks really checks all of those boxes.

All the flavor

The herbs and Parmesan cheese included in on the Italian Roasted Cauliflower Steaks really make it a standout meal. Garlic, oregano, rosemary, basil, Paprika (technically a Mexican spice) and parsley pair beautifully with delicious olive oil and shredded parmesan cheese to make it one unforgettable meal.

Besides the herbs, the way these Italian Roasted Cauliflower Steaks are roasted give the steaks a beautiful flavor. They’re baked at a really high temperature with the herbs, olive oil and cheese slathered on to give them a delectable, unique flavor.

How to cut cauliflower for roasted cauliflower steaks

Before you begin, you want to make sure you clean and cut the cauliflower. To fully clean it, peel away any of the green leaves that might still be attached.
Use a large chef’s knife and trim the stem at the bottom, but make sure to keep the head of the cauliflower untouched.
Next, cut right through the center of the cauliflower to help keep the floret heads together.
You want to cut each slice 1-1.5 inches. I find that I get about three full steaks out of each head. If you have some excess, little florets you can add those to your baking sheet too like I did. Or save them for another recipe like cauliflower rice or buffalo cauliflower bites. I just hate to waste them.
