The Method
- 1
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- 2
Remove the outer leaves from the cauliflower. Place the cauliflower head stem-side down on a cutting board. Cut two 1-inch thick 'steaks' from the center of the cauliflower. The outer pieces will fall apart but can be roasted along with the steaks as florets.
- 3
In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, thyme, rosemary, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and pepper.
- 4
Add the cauliflower steaks and florets to the bowl and toss to coat evenly with the garlic-lemon herb mixture. Make sure the cauliflower is well coated.
- 5
Place the cauliflower steaks and florets on a baking sheet in a single layer.
- 6
Roast for 25-30 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender and slightly caramelized. Flip the steaks halfway through for even browning.
- 7
Serve immediately. Drizzle with extra olive oil and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, if desired.

Chef's Tips
Don't overcrowd the baking sheet; use two if necessary for even roasting.
For more caramelization, broil for the last few minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
Serve the roasted cauliflower steaks with a side of roasted vegetables or a simple salad.
