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:

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
