Cauliflower steaks with garlic and dill are a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional meat-based dishes. This recipe is perfect for vegetarians and anyone looking to add more plant-based meals to their diet. The combination of garlic and dill adds a burst of flavor that enhances the natural taste of cauliflower, making it a delightful option for dinners or even special occasions.
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This will ensure the cauliflower steaks cook evenly.
- Remove the outer leaves of the cauliflower and trim the stem, but make sure to leave the core intact.
- Place the cauliflower upright on a cutting board and cut it vertically into 1-inch thick slices. You should get about 2-4 steaks, depending on the size of the cauliflower. Reserve any smaller florets that break apart for another use.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, and finely chopped dill.
- Season with a dash of salt and black pepper.
- Place the cauliflower steaks on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased.
- Brush both sides of the steaks generously with the garlic and dill marinade.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven.
- Roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping the steaks halfway through to ensure they cook evenly.
- The cauliflower steaks are done when they are golden brown and tender when pierced with a fork.
- Once cooked, remove the cauliflower steaks from the oven.
- Serve immediately, garnished with any remaining fresh dill and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, if desired.
Tips:
- Choose a large, firm cauliflower to ensure that the steaks hold together nicely during cooking.
- You can also add your favorite herbs or spices to customize the flavor to your liking.
- If you don't have fresh dill, dried dill can be used, but use half the amount since dried herbs are more concentrated.
- For a complete meal, serve these cauliflower steaks with a side of quinoa or a fresh green salad.
- If you prefer a bit of a kick, sprinkle some red pepper flakes over the cauliflower before baking.
Cauliflower steaks with garlic and dill are not only easy to make but also a nutritious and flavorful dish that everyone can enjoy.
