Garlic Parmesan Cauliflower Steaks
Your new go-to side dish! Roasted cauliflower is the best/easiest way to go! So crisp-tender and perfectly seasoned!
I came to really enjoy cauliflower about 2 years ago.
It’s weird, I know.
Cauliflower was just never incorporated into our very Korean diet.
Broccoli, yes. Cauliflower, no.
I’m also pretty sure my mom had no idea what cauliflower was.
Yet now, I can’t be without it. I just can’t.
I just made a mashed version for Thanksgiving, which was probably the best mashed potatoes I have ever had in my entire life.
And I have a roasted cauliflower soup coming next week.
But for now, I’m having cauliflower steak every single day.
ONLY cauliflower steak. Maybe a donut for dessert.
But hey, it’s just that good.
The cauliflower. Not the donut.

Have made roasted cauliflower several times using different recipes. This one is a real winner. The parmesan at the end is a nice touch.
Hi,
Lovely seasoning mixture and thank you for the inspiring recipe.
Question though – what size cauliflower heads did you use? I started out with two heads per the recipe (just medium size) and had only enough of the seasoning mix to cover one side of the steaks and pieces from just one head of cauliflower cut into ~1/2-3/4″ slices/pieces. I’ve reserved the remaining cauliflower for another meal. What’s now in the oven is closely placed on a very large baking sheet.
Before starting the prep, the quantity of seasoning mix seemed pretty sparse considering the quantity of cauliflower but I went ahead. Thankfully I’m not preparing it for a group so it’s not a problem tonight, but I’d suggested adding a cauliflower quantity measurement to the recipe so others can better balance this recipe out without coming up short on the seasoning.
Thanks again,
Hi Pat! I used medium-size cauliflowers. About 2 pounds each. You can always increase the amount of seasoning, to taste. Isn’t that the beauty of home cooking? 🙂
Looking forward to trying this yummy sounding recipe
5 stars. The recipe was fantastic. The only thing I changed was the cheese to asiago romano parmesan blend. It went great with steak !!!
That sounds so yummy!
OMG Chungah, I made this. We loved it. My 3 year old daughter gets crazy about this recipe. I make it once a week or even twice.
Yay for kid-friendly veggies! 🙂
Yummy simple recipe. I’m adding a little butter. YUM.
SO delicious and healthy! I recommend serving doused in marinara sauce over spaghetti!
Do you cool anything for a side? What would go good with this?
My absolute favorite side dish is the garlic parmesan roasted potatoes. But please feel free to check out all of my side dish recipes here.
This was so good! I only had one head of cauliflower but keep the other ingredients the same. I left a little bit more of the stalk as I’d heard from friends that it all falls apart. I had 3 good steaks out of 1 head so I think it worked. Yum Yum.
I just started cooking with cauliflower so I need to try this
Love this recipe ! I have been serving GP Cauliflower steaks for years! Also have breaded and fried them to get kiddos to eat them ! Not as healthy but it gets them a veggie !!!!
Oh, how yummy! I’ve prepared cauliflower in a plethora of ways but never as “steaks” before! I like this idea better because grinding up cauliflower into a “rice” consistency is ridiculously messy #amirite. This recipe looks and sounds amazing!
I think it would work better to brush the cauliflower with oil, then sprinkle with the herbs. I found it hard to spread the mixture as was directed.
It works very well with a pastry brush!
Yum. I love roasted cauliflower. Do you think this would work with broccoli as well?
Absolutely!
Yes!! Broccoli in the oven is SO much better than steaming! It’s great on the BBQ too!
