Ingredients

1 head cauliflower

2 tbsp olive oil

1 tsp smoked paprika

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1/4 tsp salt

1/4 tsp black pepper

1/2 cup fresh parsley leaves

1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves

1/4 cup red wine vinegar

2 cloves garlic

1/4 tsp red pepper flakes

1/2 cup olive oil

Instructions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).

Step 2

Remove the outer leaves from the cauliflower and trim off the stem end so that the cauliflower can sit flat on a cutting board.

Step 3

Cut the cauliflower into 1/2-inch thick slices, starting at the top and working your way down to the bottom. You should end up with two to four 'steaks', depending on the size of your cauliflower.

Step 4

In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Brush the mixture onto both sides of each cauliflower steak, coating evenly.

Step 5

Place the cauliflower steaks onto a large baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes or until tender and golden brown.

Step 6

While the cauliflower is roasting, prepare the chimichurri sauce. In a food processor, combine the parsley, cilantro, red wine vinegar, garlic, red pepper flakes, and olive oil. Pulse until mixture is finely chopped but not completely smooth.

Step 7

Serve the roasted cauliflower steaks topped with the chimichurri sauce.
