Versatile cauliflower can take center stage for dinner!
Try these seasoned “steaks” for a dramatic supper .
(Serves 4-5)
2 Tablespoons vegan margarine, melted
2 Tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
Salt, to taste
1 head cauliflower
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a sheet pan with parchment
paper.
In a small bowl,
combine melted vegan margarine, olive oil, and all spices. Stir until well
mixed, the texture will be like a paste.
Remove exterior
leaves from cauliflower. Slice through the entire cauliflower vertically,
making it into 6 steaks, each about 1 inch thick. Smear cauliflower slices with
spice paste, coating both sides of each slice evenly. Place on prepared sheet
pan.
Bake 12-15
minutes per side, flipping once during baking. Finished cauliflower should be
tender and lightly browned. Serve warm with your preferred vegan side dishes or
sauce.
