Ingredients
1 large head of cauliflower
3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Garam Masala spice (the magic dust)
- Salt and pepper, to taste (the usual suspects)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (for that touch of “I’m healthy”)
Fresh cilantro for garnish
Directions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This is the part where you pretend you know what you’re doing in the kitchen.
Cut the cauliflower into 1-inch thick “steaks.” Yes, you read that right. We’re treating cauliflower like it’s a fancy cut of meat. Try not to laugh as you do it; it’s all part of the experience.
In a bowl, mix the olive oil, Garam Masala, salt, and pepper. Slather this mixture all over the cauliflower steaks like you’re giving them a luxurious spa treatment.
Place the cauliflower steaks on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for about 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through. You want them to be golden brown and sizzling, not burnt to a crisp (unless you’re into that sort of thing).
- Once they’re done, drizzle with lemon juice to add that “I care about my health” vibe. If anyone asks, you can say you’re making a conscious effort to be both stylish and healthy.Garnish and Serve:
- Plate your beautifully roasted cauliflower steaks, sprinkle with fresh cilantro, and prepare for the compliments to roll in.
