Remove the outer leaves from the cauliflower and trim the stem slightly, keeping the core intact.<\/p>\n<p>3. Cut the cauliflower into \u00be-inch thick slices (about 3-4 steaks per head). Don\u2019t worry if some florets break off\u2014use them on the tray too!<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Step 2:<\/strong> <\/em>Season &amp; Roast<\/p>\n<p>1. In a small bowl, mix olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and oregano.<\/p>\n<p>2. Brush the cauliflower steaks with the seasoned oil on both sides.<\/p>\n<p>3. Arrange on the baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown and tender.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Step 3:<\/strong> <\/em>Add Cheese &amp; Bake<\/p>\n<p>1.
