Cauliflower steaks from the oven somehow have a very special taste, because this time we do without the ever-popular baking paper, because each vegetable steak is brushed with olive oil, which prevents the vegetables from sticking to the baking sheet. Baking without parchment paper also helps to get a golden color and a crispy crust on the underside. I recommend serving these thick vegetable steaks with a flavorful sauce like our Cilantro Pesto.
Cauliflower steaks from the oven! What a delightful and nutritious meal to make for your family. The beautiful golden-brown color of the cauliflower steaks is a testament to the amazing flavor that has been brought out by roasting the vegetable in the oven.
It is an inspiring sight, to see the steaks emerge from the oven, with the tantalizing aromas of turmeric and garlic wafting through the house.
The texture of the cauliflower is perfectly cooked, with a slight crunch that gives way to a soft, creamy center.
With just a few simple ingredients, you have created a meal that is sure to please everyone at the table. Enjoy your cauliflower steaks and the feeling of pride and accomplishment that comes with cooking a delicious and nutritious meal.
Bon appetit!
