Ingredients
1 cauliflower head ($2.80)
1 tsp. Roasted Garlic and Herbs (.15)
1 tsp. Angie’s dry seasoning (.15)
1 tbsp. Angie’s basting olive oil (.40)
3 tbsp. Angie’s Pesto Sauce (or your store purchased pesto) ($1.00)
 
Directions

• Wipe clean the cauliflower head, remove the outer leaves and trim the bottom of the core, but keep the core intact as it is what holds the florets for the steaks. Slice each head into approx. 1-inch-thick slices. The outer slices may fall apart and you can simply roast them as florets together with the steaks.
• Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Use a foil baking mold or line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.
• Drizzle the bottom with some basting olive oil, ½ tsp. roasted garlic and herbs, ½ my dry seasoning. Arrange the "steaks" in a single layer on the baking sheet. (Scatter the florets around them if any). Drizzle more basting oil on the stakes tops and sprinkle them with the other halves of the seasonings and rub well.
• Roast the cauliflower pieces for 15 minutes uncovered, then remove from oven, turn the steaks over, season them again if needed and place them back in the oven uncover and cook until golden brown and tender. Remove from the oven. They are ready now.
