    Roasted Cauliflower Steaks are an easy way to turn a simple vegetable into an elegant, low carb side dish.

    This is another one of those super quick and super delicious side dishes to add to your list of go-to healthy veggies to make.

    Roasted Cauliflower Steaks

    Instead of cutting cauliflower into florets and roasting them, simply slice them into “steaks” for an even quicker version.

    The same as this Balsamic Roasted Cauliflower, it wants to disappear extremely fast so be ready to serve it so your fingers don’t have time to keep picking.  You might just want to cook 2 heads of cauliflower just for that reason.

    They are simply seasoned with garlic and oil.  Feel free to season them with so much more too. Lemon, parmesan cheese, balsamic, soy sauce, etc.

    Be sure to try some of these other easy (and healthy) roasted veggies as well!   I guess you could say I have a thing for roasting vegetables!

      We love roasting cauliflower, it tastes wonderful this way!

      Hint I read; using another pan and weighting it down (like brick or something heavy) on top of the cauliflower saves the time of turning and assures browning on both sides. This can also be used for roasting peppers.

      Thank you for sharing on the Oh my Heartsie Girls WW this week!
