Roasted Cauliflower "Steak"

The farmers market has had quite a bit of cauliflower and broccoli recently. I have been finding different ways to use each vegetable and decided to make a cauliflower "steak" the other day ... reminiscing about a fantastic cauliflower steak I ate at Founding Farmer's in Washington, DC.



You can steam the head of cauliflower for a few minutes to start the cooking process, or just place it in the oven hard/raw. The baking time differs based on the size of the head of cauliflower. A raw cauliflower that is the size of an adults hand outstretched (as if they were to attempt to palm a basketball) is 30 -45 minutes.

Ingredients: Head of cauliflower, olive oil, paprika, and non-stick aluminum foil

Instructions: 

• Rinse cauliflower and remove stems for another recipe
• OPTIONAL: Steam head of cauliflower for a few minutes to reduce baking time
• Place cauliflower on non-stick aluminum foil and spray with olive oil. 
• Sprinkle with paprika
• Tent the foil to partially steam the cauliflower
• The last 10 minutes, expose the cauliflower to the heat so it turns out to have some texture.

Enjoy with roasted organic potatoes or mashed potatoes or hummus and gluten free bread
