Cauliflower Steaks with Pesto

Are you a fan of cauliflower? I can eat it lightly steamed topped with a little real butter and sea salt or roasted with a heart healthy omega-9 oil like olive oil along with some herbs. 

(This post was originally featured on my first blog in 2014.)

I must admit this recipe came out delicious! When in doubt, opt for adding pesto (it compliments almost any savory dish).

Ingredients:

1- head of cauliflower cut into 1 inch 'steaks'; core removed 

2 tbs of olive oil; divided

2 tsp basil (fresh or dried)

1/2 tsp sea salt; divided

3 tbs pesto (make your own here)

1/2 tsp feta cheese, crumbled  

Preparation:

1. Rinse cauliflower and cut length wise into 1 inch thick 'steaks.' Discard the core (or save it for a future vegetable broth/stock like this). 

2. Coat the cauliflower steaks on both sides with the ingredients listed above and bake in your oven for at least 20 minutes at 400°.

Note: If you don't want to use your oven, and you have access to an air fryer, this recipe works amazing there too! The air fryer temp will vary so check yours for accuracy. For mine, it's about 30° lower than an oven. I add my coated cauliflower to the air fryer and 'air fry' it for about 15 minutes at 370°. Check the color and doneness after 10 minutes. My teenager and I eat this dish like candy - it is nature's real rainbow after all.

3. Let cool slightly about 5 minutes. Slice and enjoy!

Choose, eat, and live well! =)
