📖 Instructions

1. Alright, let’s kick things off by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). This is crucial to get that perfect golden crust!
2. While the oven heats up, grab a large head of cauliflower. Remove the outer leaves and trim the bottom so it sits flat on a cutting board. Safety first, people!
3. Now, here’s the tricky part: cutting the steaks. Start by slicing a 1-inch thick steak from the center of the cauliflower. You should get 2 good steaks from the middle. The outer pieces will likely fall apart into florets, but don't fret! Save those for roasting later. If the outer pieces does not fall apart, you can still serve it, just trim it a little.
4. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. This makes cleanup a breeze and prevents sticking. Trust me, you'll thank me later.
5. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese, 2 cloves of minced garlic, 1/4 cup of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of dried Italian herbs, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. This is where the magic happens!
6. Generously brush both sides of the cauliflower steaks with the garlic Parmesan mixture. Make sure every nook and cranny is covered for maximum flavor.
7. Place the coated cauliflower steaks on the prepared baking sheet. Give them a little space so they can roast evenly.
8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender and the crust is golden brown. Keep an eye on them; ovens vary, and you don't want them to burn. Unless you like it burnt. I'm not judging.
9. Once they're done, carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven. Let the cauliflower steaks cool for a few minutes before serving. Be patient; they're hot!
10. Garnish with some fresh parsley or a sprinkle of extra Parmesan cheese, if desired. Now, dig in and enjoy your delicious Garlic Parmesan Crusted Cauliflower Steaks! This will change your life!
