Advice

Making a cauliflower steak is a great way to enjoy a healthy and delicious meal. To ensure a delicious result, it is important to choose a crisp, fresh cauliflower head. When prepping the cauliflower, be sure to slice it into 1-inch thick steaks and season with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings. When cooking, pan-fry the steaks in a hot skillet with a bit of oil. Cook each side for 3-5 minutes, until the steak is golden brown and crispy. Be sure to adjust the heat as needed to avoid burning the steaks. Finally, top off the steaks with a sprinkle of parmesan cheese and enjoy!
