Step 3: Slice the Cauliflower
Using a sharp knife, carefully slice the cauliflower into thick steaks, approximately 1-inch thick. You should aim for about 4-6 steaks, depending on the size of your cauliflower head. Keep any florets that fall off for roasting or other recipes.Low-carb keto recipesWeight loss management programs
Step 4: Season the Steaks
In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of black pepper, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of onion powder, and 1 teaspoon of dried parsley. Whisk these ingredients together until well combined.
Step 5: Brush the Cauliflower
Place the cauliflower steaks on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper (if using). Brush each steak generously with the olive oil seasoning mixture using a basting brush. Make sure to coat both sides for maximum flavor.
Step 6: Bake the Cauliflower
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the cauliflower steaks for 30 minutes, flipping them halfway through. This ensures even cooking and helps develop a nice golden-brown color.
Step 7: Add Butter and Cheese
After the initial baking time, remove the cauliflower steaks from the oven. Brush each steak with 2 tablespoons of melted unsalted butter for added richness. Then, sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheese evenly over the top of each steak.
Step 8: Broil for Perfection
Return the baking sheet to the oven and switch the setting to broil. Broil the cauliflower steaks for 2-3 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown. Keep a close eye on them during this step to prevent burning.
Step 9: Add Bacon and Sour Cream
Once the cheese is melted and bubbly, remove the baking sheet from the oven. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of crumbled bacon over the top of each steak. Finally, add a dollop of 1/2 cup of sour cream on top of each steak for a creamy finish.
