Step for Making Cauliflower Steaks

Remove the outer green leaves from the head of the cauliflower but leave the stem at the bottom so it helps the steaks hold together
Cut the cauliflower in half lengthwise through the center then cut thick slices, about 1 1/2-inch thick to have a heartier bite and stay intact (use any that crumble or fall off in salads or make cauliflower rice )
Pan-fry, bake, or air fry using oil spray, salt, and pepper
Note: additional suggestions, toppings, and spices in the recipe card below

Cooking Methods

Baking: preheat oven to 400 degrees place on a parchment-lined baking pan, season, and bake for 24 minutes flipping once in between
Pan Fried: heat 1 teaspoon oil or just air spray the tops and bottom of the cauliflower. Sear both side salt, pepper to taste for around 8 minutes for each side flipping once
Air Fried: preheat air fryer to 350 degrees. Spray cauliflower with cooking spray, season, air fry 15 minutes flipping once in-between times.

Tips:

use a serrated cutting knife
make sure the slices are thick
the middles hold the steaks in place remove the stalks after baking
cook the cauliflower to your taste, use less time for a crispier bite
other vegetables can be added see the additional suggestions
I am not a fan of leftovers, these steaks are best served fresh
rinse the cauliflower well before cooking
