Cauliflower Steak with Walnut-Kale Pesto

black plate of cauliflower steaks topped with a walnut kale pesto
  • Serves:  6
  • Prep Time:  10 min
  • Cook Time:  30 min

Ingredients

  • 1 head cauliflower
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 cup Kale Pesto, homemade or store-bought

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F with a rack in the center position.
  2. Remove the outer leaves from the cauliflower and trim the stem so the cauliflower rests flat. Place the cauliflower stem side down then slice vertically into 1-inch-thick steaks.
  3. Place the cauliflower steaks on a sheet pan. Drizzle with the olive oil and sprinkle with the salt, garlic powder, and paprika. Roast until the stems are fork tender, about 30 minutes.
  4. Serve warm, drizzled with the pesto.
