Oven-baked cauliflower steaks with mozzarella

1. Prepare the cauliflower: Preheat oven to 200 °C (400 °F). Wash the cauliflower, then cut off the bottom to create a stable base. Slice the cauliflower into thick slices (about 2-3 cm) to form steaks.

2. Season: Mix olive oil, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper in a bowl. Brush each cauliflower steak generously with the prepared olive oil mixture.

3. Bake: Place the cauliflower steaks on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, until the cauliflower begins to brown slightly.

4. Add the mozzarella: After 20 minutes, remove the cauliflower from the oven and place a slice of mozzarella on each steak. Return to the oven and bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and turned a light golden brown.

 

5. Serve: When the steaks are cooked, remove them from the oven and garnish with fresh basil. Serve hot as a starter or main course.

Additional tips: Cauliflower steaks taste great with tomato sauce or pesto. You can also add your favorite vegetables, such as tomatoes or peppers, to enhance the dish.
