  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 2–3 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 large head of cauliflower
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • Fresh parsley or chives for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  3. Brush both sides of each steak with olive oil and season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  4. Arrange on baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and tender.

Notes

  • Add red pepper flakes or smoked paprika for heat.

  • Serve over grains or with chickpeas for a complete meal.
  • Reheat in oven or air fryer for best texture.
  • Use dairy-free cheese to make it vegan-friendly.
