Preheat your oven to 220°C (200°C fan). Line a large roasting tray with baking parchment.
Remove the outer leaves from the cauliflowers and trim the stems so they sit flat.
Cut each cauliflower vertically through the core into 2-3 thick 'steaks' (about 2.5cm thick). Save the florets that fall off for another use.
Brush both sides of the cauliflower steaks with olive oil and season generously with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.
Place on the roasting tray and roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and tender.
While the cauliflower roasts, make the herb butter: melt the Jersey butter in a small saucepan over low heat.
Add the garlic and cook gently for 1-2 minutes until fragrant (don't let it brown).
Remove from heat and stir in the parsley, thyme, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper.
Transfer the roasted cauliflower steaks to serving plates and drizzle generously with the herb butter.
Sprinkle with toasted almonds and serve immediately.

Make sure to cut through the core so the steaks hold together.
The leftover florets can be roasted alongside the steaks or saved for soup.
Serve with quinoa or couscous and a green salad for a complete meal.
Add some crumbled feta or goat cheese for extra richness.
