Preparation

  3. In a bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  4. Brush the mixture onto both sides of the cauliflower steaks.
Cooking
  1. Arrange the steaks on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for about 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown.

  3. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes.

Notes

Thickness matters: Aim for steaks to be around an inch thick for optimal roasting. Feel free to adjust the spice level with more buffalo sauce or honey for sweetness. For an extra crunch, sprinkle with panko breadcrumbs before baking. Store leftovers in an airtight container for 3-5 days and reheat for crispy edges.
