Step 1
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Brush a baking sheet with olive oil or line with parchment paper.
Step 2
To prep the Cauliflower steaks, remove and discard the leaves and cut the
Cauliflower (1/2 head)
into 1-inch thick slices. (You can also roast the extra crumbles that fall off the steaks)
Step 3
Place the cauliflower steaks on the baking sheet and brush them with
Olive Oil (as needed)
. You want the surface just lightly coated. Season with
Sea Salt (to taste)
and
Ground Black Pepper (to taste)
.
Step 4
Roast the cauliflower steaks for 15-20 minutes, until the tops are browned and the edges are crispy. Check the Cauliflower halfway through and rotate your pan to ensure that all of the steaks are cooked evenly.
Step 5
Meanwhile, put the
Parmesan Cheese (45 g)
,
Olive Oil (30 mL)
,
Sea Salt (to taste)
, and
Almonds (35 g)
in a food processor or blender, and season with
Ground Black Pepper (to taste)
and
Fresh Basil Leaves (40 g)
. Blend until you have a thick, finely chopped pasted.
Step 6
Spread a generous amount of pesto on top of each cauliflower steak, and top with
Mozzarella Cheese (55 g)
.
Step 7
Return to the oven and bake until the cheese melts and begins to bubble, 2-3 minutes. If you want crispy cheese, turn on the broiler for 1-2 minutes.
Step 8
Serve the cauliflower steaks immediately with sides or main dish of choice.
