Ingredients
  

  • 2 large heads of cauliflower
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • Fresh parsley for garnish optional
  • Lemon wedges for serving

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Remove the leaves from each cauliflower head and trim the stem flat so it can stand upright on your cutting board.
  • Starting from the center, cut each cauliflower into 1-inch thick slices. You'll typically get 2-3 good "steaks" from each head, with some florets falling away (save these for roasting too!).
  • In a small bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper.
  • Brush both sides of each cauliflower steak with the seasoned oil mixture, making sure to get into all the nooks and crannies.
  • Place the steaks on your prepared baking sheet, giving them plenty of space.
  • Roast for 25-30 minutes, carefully flipping halfway through, until golden brown and tender when pierced with a fork.
