Notes
Ingredients:
2 heads of cauliflower
1 ½ cups fresh parsley
½ cup fresh oregano
4 cloves garlic
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
¼ teaspoon sea salt
¼ cup apple cider vinegar
¼ cup olive oil
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Make the Chimichurri Sauce:
Place the parsley, oregano, and garlic into a food processor and pulse until finely minced. Alternatively, you can chop everything by hand.
Stir in the apple cider vinegar, olive oil, salt, and red pepper flakes. Mix until well combined.
Prepare the Cauliflower Steaks:
Trim the bottom and leaves off the cauliflower.
Slice each cauliflower head into ½-inch thick steaks. Start by cutting the cauliflower in half and then slice each half into halves or thirds depending on the size of the cauliflower.
Roast the Cauliflower:
Arrange the cauliflower steaks on a large rimmed baking sheet.
Brush both sides of the steaks with chimichurri sauce.
Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, flip the steaks and roast for an additional 10-15 minutes until golden brown and tender.
Serve:
Drizzle the cauliflower steaks with a bit more chimichurri sauce and serve warm or at room temperature. Pass around any extra sauce for dipping.
Notes:
Herbs: For the chimichurri, you’ll need a total of 2 cups of fresh herbs. You can use all parsley or a combination of parsley and other herbs like cilantro, thyme, or additional oregano.
Optional Variations: Feel free to adjust the red pepper flakes depending on how much heat you prefer.
