Parmesan Roasted Cauliflower Steaks Recipes

ROASTED CAULIFLOWER STEAKS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400F.
• Trim the stem of the cauliflower and remove the green leaves.
• Place the cauliflower right side up on a cutting board. Using a large knife cut the cauliflower in half. From each half cut a 1 inch thick slice. If the cauliflower is very large you may be able to cut 1 or 2 more slices. *(Along with the slices of "steak" you will have lots of flowerettes left over. You can roast these along with the steaks or save them to use in other recipes.)
• Mix minced garlic with the olive oil in a small bowl.
• Arrange the cauliflower slices on a baking sheet and brush generously on both sides with the olive oil garlic mixture.
• Season with salt and pepper and sprinkle with crushed red pepper.
• Bake for 15 minutes.
• After 15 minutes carefully flip the cauliflower steaks over and brush with more garlic oil.
• Sprinkle grated parmesan cheese over the steaks.
• Return to the oven for 25 minutes, until the cheese is golden and the edges of the cauliflower are brown.
• These cauliflower steaks are great as a side dish or served with steamed green veggies or a crisp green salad.

ROASTED PARMESAN CAULIFLOWER STEAKS #RAGU

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to boil. Cut the rounded sides off the cauliflower. Cut each center piece in half lengthwise in order to make 2 steaks. Make sure to carefully remove any green, leafy bottoms from the cauliflower steaks.
• Rinse off the steaks and the florets. Place in boiling water for 5-7 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a bowl, mix the buttermilk, italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, and 1 tsp of salt together. Set aside. Pulse together 2 cups arugula, pine nuts, 1/4 cup parmesan, garlic, basil, remaining salt, pepper, and 1/2 cup olive oil for 30 seconds; set aside.
• Drain the cauliflower, and place them into a large gallon plastic, resealable bag. Reserve 1/2 cup of boiling water. Pour the buttermilk marinade into the bag, and coat the cauliflower very well. Marinate the steaks for an hour by laying the bag flat. Carefully, flipping the bag over halfway through.
• Preheat oven to 450F degrees. Mix the remaining parmesan with the breadcrumbs. Set aside for dredging along with the flour and egg wash.
• Remove the cauliflower steaks from the bag. Drain. Dredge one side of each steak in flour, egg wash, and lastly, parmesan bread crumbs. Place the steaks dredged side up on a baking rack along with the other marinated florets. Place the baking rack in a cookie sheet to catch any drippings.
• Roast on 450F degrees for 30 minutes, covered. Uncover for the last 15 minutes until fork tender.
• In an electric blender, blend all the smaller roasted florets, the Ragú pasta sauce, and reserved water until smooth. Heat stovetop on medium-high heat. Assemble each plate with sauce, pesto, a cauliflower steak, and additional arugula.
