Ingredients:

1/4 cup olive oil
60g
1 cauliflower
900g
1/3 cup olives
72g
1 tbsp lemon juice
5g
1 tbsp capers
16g
1 tbsp fresh parsley
5g
1 tsp dried oregano
5g
1 tsp sugar
5g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
2. Prepare the Cauliflower Steaks
- Remove the leaves and trim the stem of the cauliflower, but keep the core intact.
- Cut the cauliflower into 1-inch thick slices, aiming to get 2 to 3 full "steaks". Reserve any loose florets that break off for another use.
3. Season the Cauliflower Steaks
- Brush both sides of the cauliflower steaks with about half of the olive oil. Season generously with salt and pepper.
4. Roast the Cauliflower Steaks
- Place the cauliflower steaks on the prepared baking sheet.
- Roast in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, then carefully flip the steaks and roast for an additional 15-20 minutes until they are golden brown and tender.
5. Prepare the Olive and Herb Salsa
- While the cauliflower is roasting, prepare the salsa. In a medium bowl, combine the chopped olives, lemon juice, chopped capers, fresh parsley, dried oregano, sugar, and the remaining olive oil. Mix well.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
6. Serve the Cauliflower Steaks
- Once the cauliflower steaks are roasted, remove them from the oven and place on a serving platter.
- Spoon the olive and herb salsa generously over the top of the cauliflower steaks.
7. Garnish and Enjoy
- Garnish with additional fresh parsley if desired and serve immediately.

Tips:

- Be sure to cut the cauliflower into thick, even slices to ensure they cook evenly.

- Use good quality olive oil for the best flavor in both the roasting and the salsa.

- Feel free to customize the salsa with your favorite herbs or add a bit of garlic for extra zing.

- Roast the cauliflower at a high temperature to achieve a nice, crispy exterior while keeping the inside tender.

- You can prepare the salsa ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator to let the flavors meld together.

The combination of the roasted cauliflower and the bright, tangy salsa creates a symphony of flavors that's both satisfying and nutritious.
