Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
- 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.
- Brush both sides of the cauliflower steaks with about half of the olive oil. Season generously with salt and pepper.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
