Blackened Roasted Cauliflower Steaks

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425˚F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Slice the cauliflower into 3/4″-1″ steaks. You should be able to get 2-3 really good steaks from one cauliflower. Save the leftover pieces and side pieces and roast them with the steaks.

Step 3

Place the cauliflower steaks on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Rub them evenly on both sides with the maple syrup mixture and blackened seasoning. Be gentle as the cauliflower can break apart when turning. It’s not the end of the world but the goal is to keep the “steaks” in one piece.

Step 4

Bake for 25 minutes, carefully flip them over halfway through, sprinkle with more seasoning if you desire, and continue roasting until they are blackened and tender.

Step 5

Serve immediately.

Step 6

Store leftovers in a covered container for up to 3 days in the refrigerator. Reheat in a 350˚ oven or nonstick skillet over medium heat.
