Equipment

  • Grill Pan

Ingredients

  • 1 whole cauliflower, cut into steaks
  • 1 teaspoon ginger garlic paste (get recipe)
  • 1 teaspoon cumin powder
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika or chilli powder
  • ½ teaspoon coriander powder
  • ¼ teaspoon turmeric powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt or to taste
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  • Remove the outer leaves from the cauliflower head and trim the stem slightly, ensuring the core remains intact. This will help hold the steaks together.
  • Place the cauliflower head on a cutting board and slice it vertically into 1-inch-thick slabs.
  • You should get 2-3 intact “steaks” from one head, with the rest breaking into florets (save these for other cauliflower recipes).
  • Combine olive oil, ginger garlic paste, spices and salt. Rub this marinate nicely all over the cauliflower steaks. Feel free to add your favourite spices or herbs to customize the flavour.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat with a little oil. Cook the steaks for 4 – 6 minutes per side, pressing gently to ensure even browning.
  • Vegan Cauliflower Steaks can be paired with various sides and accompaniments for a satisfying meal.

Notes

Preheat Your Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) if you’re roasting the cauliflower steaks. Alternatively, preheat a grill or a large skillet for other cooking methods.
Roasting: Place the steaks on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and tender.
