    Season the Cauliflower

    Drizzle olive oil over the cauliflower steaks and season with salt, pepper, paprika, cumin, and garlic powder on both sides.

  3. 3

    Roast the Cauliflower

    Place the cauliflower steaks on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and tender.
