Ingredients
Crunchy Parmesan Cauliflower Steaks
1 large head cauliflower, outer leaves removed, sliced lengthwise through the core into 4 even slices
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Kosher salt and black pepper, to season
Curry Aioli
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon sambal oelek or sriracha
1/2 teaspoon curry powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Directions
Roast the Cauliflower
Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place the cauliflower steaks on the parchment paper-lined baking sheet and drizzle both sides with olive oil.
Sprinkle both sides of the cauliflower steaks with grated Parmesan cheese, red pepper flakes, salt and ground black pepper.
Roast on the center rack until golden brown on the bottom, 15-16 minutes. Flip the cauliflower steaks and roast until tender and the cheese has crisped up another 10-15 minutes.
Make the Aioli
In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, sambal oelek, curry powder, and garlic powder until combined.
To Serve
Divide the roasted cauliflower steaks and serve with curry aioli. Enjoy!
