Cauliflower Parmesan Steaks

Print Recipe

A low-carb twist on classic chicken Parmesan, these roasted cauliflower steaks are topped with rich marinara sauce and gooey melted cheese. Crisp edges, tender centers, and a savory herb finish make this a satisfying vegetarian main course.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large head cauliflower
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup marinara sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly oil it.
  2. Remove the outer leaves and trim the stem of the cauliflower, keeping the core intact. Slice into 3/4-inch thick steaks.
  3. Place cauliflower steaks on the baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  4. Roast for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until tender and golden brown.
  5. Spoon marinara sauce over each steak, then top with mozzarella, Parmesan, and a pinch of Italian herbs.
  6. Return to the oven and bake for another 8–10 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  7. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

  • Use vegan cheese to make this dish fully plant-based.
  • Serve with a side of pasta, salad, or garlic bread.
  • Cut cauliflower into even steaks to ensure uniform cooking.
  • Any leftover florets can be roasted separately.
