Instructions

- Season the Steaks: Place the cauliflower steaks on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Flip them to ensure both sides are coated.
- Roast: Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through until the cauliflower is golden brown and tender.
- Make Chimichurri: While the cauliflower is roasting, combine parsley, oregano, garlic, red pepper flakes, red wine vinegar, and olive oil in a bowl. Mix well and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve: Once the cauliflower steaks are ready, plate them and drizzle generously with chimichurri sauce. Enjoy immediately.
