Cauliflower Steaks

Here's another item from my 'I should try that sometime' list.  You can grill or roast these!  My first bite reaction was 'This is pretty good, but probably a better side dish than a meal" and by the end of it felt that it really could be a meal.  It was filling on it's own and has a good spicy-ness to it.  That always makes things better!

With the leftover florets, you could make another m
batch of the seasoning and oil and toss it together and roast them!  425 degrees for about 20 minutes.  (Update:  I have done these 4 times now in 2 weeks and don't bother with the 'steaks'.  I just do the florets.  Love them!)

This makes 2 steaks.

Floret version

Cauliflower Steaks

1 medium size cauliflower
1/2 t. salt
1/4 t. pepper
1/4 t. garlic powder
1/4 t. paprika
2 T. olive oil

Trim the leaves off the cauliflower and set the head on it's stem on a cutting board.  Cut in half down the center.  Then cut each half down the side next to the stem to create a steak.  Save the flowerettes not attached to the stem for another use.

Put each steak on a sheet pan and brush both sides with the olive oil.  Then sprinkle both sides with the seasoning.

Grill on a medium heat for 5-6 minutes per side, until they start to get a slight char and they are tender.
